I’m not going to lie to you, I’d never spent this much on a backpack before. But there were a number of things that went into deciding to bite the bullet and go for it and honestly, this is probably the best backpack I’ve ever owned.

It’s Indigenous People’s Day!
When I was growing up, the second Monday in October was called Columbus Day because allegedly this guy comes in and “discovers” a continent where people were already living.

Domestic violence information and resources
Domestic violence is terrifyingly common, and yet hardly talked about. The lack of awareness makes it difficult for people to recognize whether their loved ones might be affected, and even more difficult for people in toxic situations to leave.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Martin Luther King, Jr was one of the most notable and recognizable names in the Civil Rights Movement. The work he did laid the ground that the fight is still being fought on to this day. As the youngest living person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35, there’s noContinue reading “Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr”
