Minding My Business
What I know is at the end of the day I am deeply committed to being who I am.
What Would Love Do?
I have come to believe that all forms of oppression represent an attempt to love oneself through the subjugation of others. They all advise a worth that relies on the perceived worthlessness of another. I have come to believe that complying with oppression is an adaptive strategy and a survival strategy. For we are all taught that love, and in fact safety and even worth, comes from receiving the validation of those who oppress us.
The Lie of Scarcity
This is how unhealed trauma works - you take it in, and then you pass it on. The reference point that we’ve been given for power and worthiness is one that isn’t rooted in either.
Choosing to Meet Ourselves
Our power is not something we were ever meant to search for externally. It cannot be found in the hall ways of institutions built on the promise to keep us powerless.
Earth Rising
Trust that as we heal and rise, the Earth heals and rises too.
Trust that as you rise, the Earth is supporting you.
Life is Alignment
What happens when we align with life and allow ourselves to be the anchored center from which we view everything else.
Refinements
Do not underestimate what happens when the world is full of Free Souls who know that they are Free.
A World That Includes You
It is beautiful to feel called to serve — but the call to serve does not negate your humanity and your importance just as you are. Service is not a substitute for the fact that you matter just because and just as you are.
Dear Blackness
Let the relationship you forge with yourself be a foundation from which you cast spells and break curses. A foundation from which, upon meeting your majesty, you embrace your own capacity to build worlds.
Remembering Our Power
So much of what we are conditioned to covet as “power” is an example of powerlessness. There is no power in wars or weapons or subjugating other people; only the revelation of powerlessness.
A Powerless Power
Our understanding of power is so corrupted that we are conditioned to covet a powerlessness that masquerades as power.
Consciousness Has Come
The season of white supremacy is over. This isn’t something that needs to be forced - it’s already happening, consciousness has come. This isn’t a new development - it’s the result of so many, centuries worth of people who chose courage, and questions, and confrontation, and love. They are alive in us - they come to life through us.
Whole Love
Love - whole love- is self sustaining. It doesn’t need something outside of itself.
Giving Voice to Spirit
Whenever difference - whenever harm - whenever the shadow of humanity is brought into awareness; spiritual bypassing manifests in the rush to reject and silence what’s being said.
A Love That Is Ours To Create
Our healing is reclaiming our humanity - it’s learning to hold space for everything we’ve been taught to silence, it’s learning to radically center, and trust, ourselves. It’s recognizing that loving you will NEVER take from me — because that’s not how love works. Love amplifies and grows and expands. If it requires scarcity, then it‘s not quite love, yet.
