decolonizing movement a movement of reclaiming ourselves and each other because the systems want us all dead in many different ways the systems want us all working 24 hours a day in different ways so this work comes from a black liberation lens i'm a black woman i am a womanist i am a person who understands that no one is free until we're all free and i see the interconnectedness

But this work sits rooted in a human rights global ideal. Everyone is suffering, including the planet. The planet itself is suffering from the way that we are working it and not taking care of it. Climate change is so real. The planet is tired. It's exhausted. It's abused. It won't stop. And so there needs to be a pause. There needs to be a pause. And we're going to have to take it.

Very dangerous. We're easier to manipulate when you're like exhausted and don't have time to think. If we rested, I think the systems know that it will be over for them. Yeah. That so many people will wake up and be like, wait a minute. You know, so to me, this work is really about awareness and pulling back veils. I see prayer to be a veil buster. Just saying where I see rest to be a veil buster.

They're written from the point of view of being disillusioned, but bringing us back to hope. They're written to be almost like to challenge and provoke us to say to us, there is a new way.

What do you feel?
