Join Rise WVU in celebrating Black Love Day
Feb. 11 at 3 p.m.
Rise WVU will host its 3rd Annual Black Love Day Celebration with an interactive panel discussion to review Black Love's representation in the media and its dynamics within the black community on Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. All are welcome to attend!
Black Love Day was founded by Nya Akoma on Feb. 13, 1993, as an alternative to Valentine's Day. This nationally commemorated African-American holiday has the spiritual goals of encouraging black self-love instead of self-hatred, increasing peace to stop violence, and facilitating racial healing.
Register for the Feb. 11 webinar or visit the @RiseWVU social media pages. The event will be posted on Refresh.wvu.edu starting Saturday, Feb. 6.
