1.Shop Black – Make it a badge of honor to dine black; purchase art, clothes, and groceries from black-owned businesses. Then make a call to action on social media for others to join you. #BHM18 #shopblack #BHMaction
2. Make Three Resolutions – What will you do to uplift the collective body of African Americans? You can mentor a young person or someone in your company; consider starting, investing in, or mentoring a small black-owned business, or you can commit to educating your children on their heritage.

3. Start a Tradition – Start your own annual tradition to celebrate BHM in a meaningful way. You can host a dinner where everyone comes to share results from steps 1-3, or it can be as simple as sharing the stories of unsung black heroes on your social media timeline. Begin a BHM ceremony within your realm of influence.
4. Conduct a Random Acts of Kindness. Make dinner for a senior neighbor, deliver food or goods directly to the homeless, or purchase books for a struggling college student this semester. Include a BHM note of encouragement and gratitude and BAM- a new BHM service tradition is born.

5. Incorporate Stories of Everyday Heroes – Who inspires you on a personal level? Let them know, share that testimonial, celebrate the individuals who have an impact on your everyday life. From the bus stop to the board room, we interact with contemporary heroes every single day.
