My grandmother doing that was a disruption. That system wanted her on the clock. 24 hours a day running from Jim Crow, running from the Ku Klux Klan down in Mississippi, getting away during a great migration. And then she's centering her rest. That is a disruption. So I want people to, like you said, get deeper into the idea that this idea of productivity, forget about it.

The idea of productivity has been taught to you by a capitalist system. We don't want that curriculum anymore. We need new curriculum. All of that that you learned, that's done. I know you might have got an A in that class, but the curriculum is not that no more. What we are learning and trying to take on is the idea that productivity is not what you think it is.

That resting is a generative state. You generate ideas. You are connecting with your body. You are participating in the spiritual practice. Resting is a spiritual practice. It connects you. I believe dreams and napping allows you to have a portal. There's a portal that opens you.

When you go into a rested state that allows you to see things different, that allows you to have a moment outside of grind culture, that allows you to connect with something deeper outside of yourself, connect with your ancestors, connect with... what you want to be, connect with the dreams.

And so this dreamscape, this portal idea is really centered in Afrofuturism and my idea of understanding that we can dream ourselves free, that I've watched people dream themselves free. You know, I've watched my family dream themselves free and pray themselves free and leap to freedom in ways that still to this day surprise me. And so to tap into that I believe so much in human beings.

I have so much hope. I believe in the deepest parts of ourselves that we are all divine, that a miracle that we're here on earth, it is a miracle to be born. And so if that's the starting point, anything that's trying to degrade that and steal that from us, I'm not with.

Capitalism, exhaustion, white supremacy, work culture, racism, ableism, anything that's degrading us from the true divine beings we are, we don't want that. We want something different. And so people are always like, yeah, I want to rest so I can, you know, get ready to do more tomorrow. I got to... Rest to get myself boosted up so I can go hard tomorrow. No, there is no more hard.
