We’ve been resharing the posts y’all tag me in—and I’m moved every time.

Trauma handed down becomes culture when we don’t name it.
The work is to re-contextualize and remember.

Gratitude to @‌drlauravalentina for this one.

Today I’m honoring two things we don’t often give ourselves: silence and rage.

One teaches us to listen beyond words.
The other teaches us what we will no longer tolerate.

Liberation is not a costume you put on for the moment.

Proximity to the struggle does not give you a pass.

Words matter. History matters. Context matters.

Dr. Menakem asked me to breathe and take a walk four years ago and so I closed this book and didn't open it again. I'm ready now

I sat and hummed. I don’t think I like it. Or I’m doing it wrong. Not sure. I am sure I will be asked to hum from my belly again. I held my hands up and felt down, finger tips to feet, and knew I needed to cry.

We must build #culture & #community to hold this: “Your niceness is inadequate to deal with the level of brutality that has occurred.” @ResmaaMenakem
