30 Days to Change Your Life

Dear Family,

It’s November 1, and the next 30 days could change your life.

Today, as the new moon rises - the same moon that guided our ancestors - we invite you to embark on a sacred journey with us as we return to the roots of GirlTREK, where it all began with a simple walking challenge between two friends, Morgan and me. 

Last Saturday, we stood shoulder to shoulder in Atlanta with 1,000 women, proudly declaring our mission to increase life expectancy for Black women by 10 years. Those women ignited a fire within us, but here’s the truth. We need all million of you, not just 1,000, at the start line of this new journey with us. 

And we need you well. 

We need you whole. 

We need you walking. 

We need all million of you to understand that you are the mission. Change doesn’t happen outside of ourselves; it happens within.

That’s why this November, we’re not just walking; we’re taking the next 30 days to engage with 21 powerful “this or that” questions that challenge you to reflect deeply on your choices and connect your journey to the powerful legacies of those who came before us.

Over the course of the 30 days you will have an opportunity to:

  • Create a daily discipline of walking and experience the profound health benefits of this practice. 

  • Walk and talk daily with Black women from around the world, building community and connection.

  • Explore thought-provoking prompts such as: Respectable or Ratchet? Loyalty or Liberation? Rest or Revolution? Each question is designed to provoke reflection and discussion, encouraging you to embrace your truth.

  1. PrayerTREK (Tomorrow at 9AM ET)
    Start this journey with intention. Tomorrow at 9AM ET, join us on The Liberation Line from wherever you are for a collective prayer to ground our month together. Women from last week’s rally will lead Manifestation Miles after, creating space for us all as we step forward. This is a moment to connect deeply with our purpose.

  2. 21 Days of Black History Bootcamp (Starting Monday)
    This Bootcamp is about action and reflection. For 21 days, we’ll walk together at 12PM ET on The Liberation Line, exploring our powerful questions and discussing what they mean for our lives today. Each day, we’ll dive into themes that matter, shaping our understanding and actions through the legacies of those who came before us. Dial in: (646) 876-9923,,734464325#

  3. The Black Family 5K Celebration (November 30)
    To wrap up the month, we’ll gather for the Black Family 5K and end-of-season celebration, closing out our journey together with the people who matter most to us.

Picture this: One million women, setting intentions, walking daily, reclaiming joy, experiencing the justice that comes from our collective action. 

This isn’t just a program, it’s a chance to actively shape the lives we want to live.

Sign up to join us. Walk and talk with us. Let’s make these next 30 days matter.

 

With love, 

Vanessa (Morgan & Team)
