💔 This Weekend on Martha's Vineyard: 5/30-6/1
a heavy week on island, support services, teen guide, clothing swap, inkwell yoga + a new night market
Before we get into this week’s events, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that this week felt heavy on the island. If you weren’t following what happened, you can catch up with the full story in the Vineyard Gazette. I also want to re-share my MV Support Services Resource Guide for anyone who could use extra support right now.
As we head into LGBTQ+ Pride Month this weekend, I’m holding space for everyone who makes this island the vibrant, diverse community it is. I shared this graphic earlier in the week:
If this message speaks to you and you'd like to display it in your home, school, or business, printed posters are available to purchase here. Proceeds will support local Martha’s Vineyard nonprofits focused on inclusion and community wellness.
