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.

Like we don't need toughness and going hard no more. We need softness. We need care. We need community. We need collective healing.

You preached with that question. Yes. All of that. The question is so good. Like, yes, because humanness, people always try to distill the information. And I say, simply, this work is just bringing us back to our natural state. This work is about making us more human. taking away this robotic zombie machine-like thing that they've placed on us.

When I was reading and researching all of the slave information and the narratives and what was happening on plantations, they were literally building human machines. They were trying to see how far they could push a human body. Could it be automated? Can they work 20 hours straight? Could we do 23 straight? How much could we feed them where they won't pass out in the fields?

How much water could we give them? So they were really automating us and creating this idea of a machine level pace for a human body. So the disrespect of a human body is evident and key. This work brings you back to your natural state, the slowing down, the resting.
