Hi all

As the summer heat intensifies, it’s crucial to stay hydrated for optimal health. This week, we’re focusing on hydration and how to keep your body nourished during the hot months.

Why Hydration Matters

Proper hydration is essential for maintaining energy levels, supporting digestion, and keeping your skin healthy. Dehydration can lead to headaches, fatigue, and other health issues, so it’s important to drink enough water throughout the day.

Hydration Tips

Drink Water Regularly: Aiming for at least 8 glasses of water a day is a general rule. Keep a water bottle with you to remind yourself to drink. You can also take your body weight and drink half of it in ounces to start.
Eat Hydrating Foods: Incorporate water-rich foods into your diet, such as cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges.
Herbal Teas and Infusions: Enjoy herbal teas and infusions like mint or hibiscus, which are not only refreshing but also hydrating.
Refreshing Recipes

Here are a couple of delicious and hydrating drink recipes to try:

Cucumber Mint Water:

1 cucumber, sliced
A handful of fresh mint leaves
1 liter of water
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and let it infuse in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Watermelon Lime Cooler:

2 cups watermelon chunks
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup water
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Serve chilled.

Stay hydrated and enjoy these refreshing beverages. Join our live call on Monday at 12 PM to share your favorite hydration tips and recipes.

Wishing you a refreshing and healthy week!

“She was called Phillis, because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, which was the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal 🇸🇳 In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sàle:
-She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!
She was felt, n.aked, by many hands.

At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At the age of twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen enlightened men in robes and wigs.

She had to recite texts from Virgil and Milton and some messages from the Bible, and she also had to swèar that the poems she had written were not plagiarized. From a chair, she gave her long examination, until the court accepted her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet. "

Phillis Wheatley, was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States.

Quote of the day...

On this day, 30 September 1919, the Elaine massacre, one of the worst incidents of racial violence in US history, began in Arkansas.
Around 100 Black workers, mostly sharecroppers employed by white plantation owners, attended a meeting of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America at a church to try to organise for better pay. The union placed armed guards outside the church to protect it from attack.
The exact cause of the incident is disputed, but a shootout broke out which left a white sheriff's deputy injured and a white railroad security officer dead.
In the aftermath, up to 1,000 armed white racists descended on the town and began murdering Black people, while US troops locked up hundreds of African Americans in makeshift stockades, torturing many. They remained locked up until they could be questioned by their white employers, who could then get them released. Authorities completely denied the massacre took place, and instead charged 122 African Americans with various crimes, 12 of whom were swiftly convicted and sentenced to death by electric chair. This sentence was later reduced on appeal, but 77 Black people ended up serving often lengthy prison sentences.
The exact number of victims is unknown, but estimates of African Americans killed ranges from 100 up to several hundred. None of the white perpetrators of the massacre were charged with any crime, despite some admitting to participating in torture.
