This week, we bring you a special message from NAF CEO, JD Hoye to close out Black History Month and update the network on some NAF happenings. In some of her words, she said, "Black History month is a powerful opportunity to consider the outcomes we are trying to achieve. Our NAF nation knows all too well the challenges of dealing with systemic racism and it's critically important that we see these opportunities for change. Across our network there are incredible examples of the work that we're doing each and every day aimed at bending the arc of justice towards racial equity." Watch the full message here.
