Welcome to Zero Week. This discussion sets the tone for how we learn together: grounded, respectful, and rooted in community care. ✅ Your Task (2 Parts) Part 1 — Your Main Post (300+ words) Watch the assigned video from our Rootwork Revival series, then post a reflection of at least 300 words that includes: -What stood out to you most (and why)? -What you learned, unlearned, or felt challenged by? -How the video connects to ancestral practices, Hoodoo/rootwork, cultural protection, and/or Black sovereignty? -One thoughtful question you’re left with (for the group). Part 2 — Peer Engagement (2 Replies, 100+ words each) Reply to at least two classmates with responses that are 100+ words each. Your replies should do at least one of the following: -Build on their idea with a deeper connection Offer another perspective (respectfully). -Ask a meaningful question that moves the conversation forward. -Add a relevant example from your lived experience (only what you’re comfortable sharing). 🧭 Community Standards (Read Before Posting) -Privacy is law: no screenshots, reposts, or sharing outside this community. -Consent first: do not share or reference someone else’s story outside this thread. -Education ≠ initiation: we’re here to learn history, ethics, and foundation—not expose family-only practices. -Use first name or alias if you prefer. 📝 Copy/Paste Template (Use This If Helpful) 1) My biggest takeaway was… (2–4 sentences) 2) What stood out and why… (1–2 paragraphs) 3) Connection to ancestry / rootwork / sovereignty… (1–2 paragraphs) 4) A question I’m sitting with is… (1–3 sentences) ⏳ Due By: January 3rd, 2026 11:59pm When you’re done, drop a 🖤 under your own post so I know you completed both parts.
