Week 1: Roots and Revolutionaries (June 1–7)
The Caribbean did not produce revolutionaries by accident. It produced them because oppression demands it from people who know that survival without agency will never be enough. Here are three Caribbean revolutionaries who have shown the world how to hold your head up and speak truth to power.
Beauty, Complexity, and Power
We end the year with celebration of the messy, and the miraculous whole. Beauty, complexity, and power are not separate. They live in the same breath. To celebrate diversity is to honor the full, intricate truth of who we are not despite our contradictions, but because of them. We are not called to be perfect or uniform, but to be present, curious, and brave.
Caribbean Currents: Voices of Vision, Art, and Liberation
The Caribbean is a rich and complex world with dozens of islands, hundreds of languages, and five centuries of colonial impact. Caribbean American Heritage Month is a celebration of what survived across the Middle Passage in the hearts and revolutions of enslaved people.
It’s also Black Music Month, poetic timing since the genius of the African diaspora and Caribbean expression are inseparable in their influence on American music. To trace either is to arrive at the same place: people who were taught their culture had no value, survived to give the world some of its most enduring art
Week 4: Justice, Leadership, and Collective Liberation (May 22 to 28).
Justice work is rarely solitary. It is communal, intergenerational, and rooted in love for community. Throughout history, Asian, Arab, and Pacific Islander leaders have organized across movements; recognizing that liberation is interconnected, that the fight for labor rights and the fight for sovereignty and the fight for the planet is the urgent work of their generation.
This week we honor four leaders who have worked at the intersection of activist-philosopher and embody what revolution looks like when you build from the ground up.

Week 2: Migration, Diaspora, and Resilience. (May 8 to 14)
Every journey begins before the boat, before the border, before the leaving. It begins in the place that became unsafe, or unlivable, or simply somewhere a future could no longer be imagined – or somewhere a different future called. Migration is not a single event. It is a long unfolding – a negotiation between what was carried and what must be let go, a tension between the experiences held in the body and the experiences required to survive.
