The May issue of CommuniKate focuses one source of power that we've all got—our everyday interactions. ✨💜 This one might be a good read for anyone feeling overwhelm or despair with the 💩 going on in the world right now.

The March issue of CommuniKate features two short essays. ✨ Both of them are about how people in Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding areas care fiercely for their neighbors. ⭐️ Plus, there’s a link to a new playlist as well as two videos of people gathered to sing in downtown Minneapolis. 🎶💜
