Rooted in Love and Justice
A Resting Revolution
2018
Where I am so abundant I attract what I need
I take courtesies my great-grandmother would only imagine in her daydreams
Living in a state in which I am entitled to love that isn’t laborious
My black femininity isn’t valued by how it can contribute to the system or compares to any other woman
Resting in the assurance of self that what is for me will not miss me
Dreaming so I can dream. Dreaming so I can communicate with my higher self
A resting revolution in which I value rest as much as I do my work because I realize I can’t do shit off-center or manifest in survival mode.
Let Your Healing
Ripple out
They advocate for the decolonization of the dance and wellness fields and are committed to promoting wellness within marginalized populations.
