I'm in love with the process. The nuance of it all. The messy. The growth. The unlearning....

Today is only a day and tomorrow is the next but hit repeat and it’s forever.

We all can all learn a lot about empathy and compassion from growing plants. Joy can live and grow to! You have to create space and nurture it!

Happy Monday!

BEING culturally responsive is not something you can check off a list after attending a workshop or training. It’s about choosing a life-long journey to examine and excavate oneself and the systems that create and perpetuate all that we are.

What is something you have never done, said, or become because of fear? If you knew a new found freedom was tied to breaking through chains of uncertainty, who would you become?

When I think of power, I think of women.

You are power. You are justice. You are love. You are resistance. You are liberation.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Striving to live in resistance has taught me, and inspired me, to reimagine what an antiracist world could be and feel like. #unlearninglyd #livingmyliberation #freedom #processisprogress #unlearningspace

I really struggle thinking folks expect perfection - but more than that I struggle with my own internalized oppression and expecting perfection for myself.
