READ: Four Takeaways From the Rogue Invitation – Morning Chalk Up
Did you watch the Rogue Fitness Invitational this past weekend? It was a great event that showed some ingenuity about how would run an event during a pandemic. Rogue sent athletes full care packages of equipment, sent out a judge and camera crew and ran an amazing event. The word Cr*ssF*t was never mentioned and shows that maybe the Games may not be the gold standard in the future.

It’s PRIDE month and it doesn’t look like the community will be able to raise awareness with celebrations and gatherings as we are used to. Since we’re all still staying inside it might be a good time to see if you’re doing your due diligence and addressing our friends and family properly. Check out A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns by Archie Bongiovanni & Tristan Jimerson. This was recommended to me by the team at Comics Dungeon in Wallingford, along with a handful of other great LGBTQIA+ books which I’ll continue to highlight through the month.

The #CHAZ is no longer. It is known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, as we have not had justice until we fix injustice. Continue learning and educating yourselves, in person at a talk-in at the #CHOP or by more participation in conversation with Black and Non-Black People of Color.
