Welcome, March! I’m sure we are all excited for the rising temperatures in the next few weeks but did you also know March is Women’s History Month? Swipe to learn more!!

As we leave February and enter March, let’s celebrate Mae Jemison! The first Black astronaut of the United States

As we near the end of February, continue to spread love throughout the year with these tips on how to show up for your loved ones! 💓

Continuing our LGBTQ spotlights, today we look at J.J Warren. J.J. Warren (he/him) is a public theologian, speaker, advocate, and the author of Reclaiming Church: A Call to Action for Religious Rejects. After making an impassioned plea for the inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons at The United Methodist Church’s (UMC) top law-making assembly in 2019, J.J.’s speech went viral, and his advocacy has been covered by HuffPost, NBC, Brut Media, and WXXI Radio. J.J. has earned a Master’s in Divinity (M.Div.) from Boston University School of Theology (’22), which is known as “the school of the prophets,” and a Bachelor’s of Arts from New York’s Sarah Lawrence College (’19) where he studied religion and creative writing.

In honor of Presidents’ day yesterday, our Black history month spotlight this week represents the first Black president of the United States - Barack Obama! Swipe to learn more about the 44th president of the United States.

Happy Monday Cards & happy Presidents’ day! Formally, today is meant to specifically honor George Washington and his contributions to the country, but President's Day has informally been expanded in recent years to honor all of our past presidents as well!

Happy Pride Month! Continuing the celebration, today we are spotlighting two incredible individuals. Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera are two people who were extremely influential as leaders in the 70s. They are very well known drag performers and activists during their time. Language people used to identity at the time was very different, but their causes speak to drag queens, trans people, and other LGBTQ+ members. They both were restricted from the freedom and respect they deserved during their lives, and their memories speak to many of the struggles and dreams of LGBTQ+ people today.

Hey Cards! Meet Robert Abbott, the founder of The Chicago Defender - one of the most important Black newspapers in history. Robert gave a voice to the voiceless and encouraged more cities to create Black newspapers.

happy National pizza day!! Celebrate with 10% off your MOD or Fiame pizza order (sponsored by the Student Governing Association)

Our first Black History Month Spotlight! Meet Lewis Latimer - the Black inventor who enlightened Thomas Edison. Thanks to Latimer, we have access to light & have the ability to make phone calls.

With the season of love upon us, be sure to show yourself self-love this holiday! Here are some tips to practice self-care/self-love this Valentine’s day ❤️

We’re wrapping up the countdown today with Hailey Rosales:

“As a first generation college student double majoring in Human Resources Management & Finance with experience commuting and living on campus, I was able to connect with a wide range of incoming students on anything from commuting, life on campus, resources for first gen students, and getting the most out of your classes and credits. Through my experiences with my on campus involvement, I have also been able to connect with and encourage incoming students to get involved so they can get the most out of their experience at NCC.”

Today we’re counting down with Ana Kesar:
