Hello sweet HerStry babes! How are we doing? Holding up? Holed in? I hope you are all protecting yourselves the best you can and taking care of your heads and hearts. As you may have noticed, there was no March Amplify and we’re picking up in April. If you’re a frequent reader of Amplify, you know I’m no stranger to skipping a month here and there when it comes to the column, but usually I do this with a great amount of guilt. This time, though, I offered myself a bit of grace because we are all, collectively, living through a pandemic. So today, in addition to learning about Dr. Ruby Sakae Hirose, I want to remind each reader that you should always offer yourself grace.
