FINAL EDIT: The circle has been rescheduled to Sunday 9/21 at 1pm Central US/8pm Central Europe. Same registration link will work. Thank you all for voting. I hope most folks can still make it. See everyone there! EDIT: Please see the two-option poll pinned in the comments! Hi all, the little one woke up with trouble breathing that worsened throughout the day, so the phone nurse recommended we bring her to the ER. She’s on a 3x nebulizer treatment, doing fine. Let’s plan to push the circle back by one hour to 1pm Central US/8pm Central Europe, but please check back here in case I have to move it again. This doesn’t feel serious enough to have to cancel or move to tomorrow, but I will let you all know if that happens. Hope to see you all then! x

Changemakers! Join us on Monday for a new informal and experimental Jobseeker Support Group especially geared towards impact professionals in the process of leaving a role, applying for jobs, or looking for contract work and clients. The job market is rough, but let’s make sure no one has to navigate this alone. Visit the calendar tab to register for the first call on Monday 7/21 at 1pm Central US/8pm Central Europe, right after the R.I.S.E. Leader’s Circle call for Identity & Belonging Lab members at 12 noon Central US/7pm Central Europe. If you can’t make it, I highly recommend checking out this post by @Kilse Ochem about a weekly support group by Michael Steffrey for DEI, CSR and Social Impact Leaders in Transition. I’ll be contacting him as well to see what collaborative potential there may be! Have a great weekend and hope to see many of you there on Monday!

***Edit: Date change! We'll see you on Monday 6/30, same time (11am Central/6pm Central Europe)!!*** Exactly 7 years ago on June 28, 2018, Hola Magnolia was born of a beautiful, unforgettable and affirming moment meeting my first Magnolia Grandiflora—the official state flower and tree of my Indigenous American and Enslaved African ancestors' home state—outside of the US in my chosen home of Spain. Five years later, we were incorporated in my home state of Illinois with the incredible support of my LinkedIn community for the 2nd Edition of the Reparations Race! The world is burning and it seems like there's no way to know what tragic news, intensifying violence or personal loss is looming just around the corner. I can't control much, but I CAN hold space for unconditional celebration—and I'd like you all to join me for an impromptu livestream to commemorate the occasion.. I hope to see you all on Monday, June 30, 2025 at 11am Central US (Chicago)//6pm Central Europe (Barcelona) for this special anniversary event with as many of our community members, collaborators and longtime supporters that can join us. We'll be talking about: 🌺 My decision to end The Reparations Race in its current form after this 4th Edition, including how to still join us in uplifting (and FUNDING) Black creators, businesses and projects to close out this incredible project 🌺 What's coming up next for us at Hola Magnolia, and how to support our current objective of ending our summer Business Debt-Free 🌺 How to get even more involved in our growing "Virtual Village" on here on Skool! Link to RSVP and receive the link can be found here in the calendar tab. I look forward to seeing some of you there!
