It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the chance to say goodbye to the hectic, harrowing year that was 2020. We entered the new decade with high hopes; sadly, those Roaring ’20s references didn’t quite track on our IG posts the way we’d hoped.

But as we close out this year, I am focusing on gratitude. For one, painful police brutality ignited a racial reckoning we needed centuries ago. We’ve learned to speak up and rise up. We made it possible for a new administration to take the reins next month. And we baked bread — lots and lots of bread.

On behalf of the Momentum editorial team, we thank you for learning, expressing your pain, and sharing your hope with us this year. We plan on being a guide and good friend and getting you through the fight against anti-Black racism through 2021 and for years to come.

Momentum is a blog that captures and reflects the moment we find ourselves in, one where rampant anti-Black racism is leading to violence, trauma, protest, reflection, sorrow, and more. Momentum doesn’t look away when the news cycle shifts.
