What Would Love Do?

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

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

A World That Includes You

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

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.

Power Is

Acknowledging the humanity of everyone you meet - treating everyone you meet with respect and the understanding that their humanity does nothing to diminish your own, is 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.

A Love That Is Ours To Create

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.
