And so I'm really always been a student of history, a student of culture and trying to figure out and look at things from the lens that it should be looked at, which is a lens of pulling back the veils and moving things back and seeing what's happening. And a lot of people don't know. That capitalism was created on plantations, that it comes right out of the chattel slave system.

And they're like, you say down with capitalism and capitalism is trying to kill us. And this economic system that we're living under that's killing all of us and the planet itself. Also, the planet is suffering because of it. They don't trace the roots back to the history of this idea of looking at a body.

As a machine, as looking at a human body as not being divine, as seeing us all as a tool for the production of wealth, for profit over people. And so when you bring that back and you start to begin to really study the history of what happened on plantations, the history of the Middle Passage, transatlantic slave trade. The way this entire culture was built on the backs of black and native people.

Then people are like, hmm, OK, that does sound super violent and super horrible. But we are all a part of it because we're all living in a system that moves like that. And so the system that I look at when I think about grind culture, I say. It's the same energy, the same ideology that was on those plantations. Work all the time. Have four or five jobs, plus a side hustle.

Have your hobbies as a way to make money. Never rest. Never... It's the same energy that looked at human beings, my ancestors, as human machines who worked 20 hours a day on plantations, who saw this unsustainable pace of machine-level production. It's still happening here in our corporations and in our world right now.

And then you look at white supremacy, this ideology, this systematic idea of a hierarchy on race. When you look at white supremacy being so violent and using bodies for centuries as tools of evil, like that's all white supremacy is looking at. It's devaluing our divinity. It's making... Everyone look at each other as not the divine miracles that we are.

It's really caused a true brainwashing and spiritual deficiency in all of us to be under a system like white supremacy. So you blend those things together and you get grind coach. You get this idea of a body not being able to be owned by ourselves. Like I say a lot. I don't belong to capitalism. I don't belong to grind culture and I don't belong to white supremacy. You can't have me.

I'm not going to be the one you're going to get. And so because of that, I'm resting. I'm using rest as a vehicle to disrupt it, to disturb that idea, to push back. And so it really centers itself in history. I speak so much about
