Exactly. Oh, my God. I love her. Like, yes. You get it. Like, thank God. Yes. People keep saying that to me. And I really have so much empathy and compassion for them because I understand that the systems have socialized us since birth. Even sometimes before birth, when I talk about my son in the book, about my birth story with him, like the systems socialize and brainwash us from birth.

Everything is in collaboration, teaching us these things. And so when I see people who like they desperate, like there's that sound good, but I can't do it. And then I think about the people who are like typing me long messages. four paragraph emails telling me why they can't rest. And I'm like, wow, that was five minutes of daydreaming right there. You're going to have to make choices.

You're going to have to see your way out and have perspective around. There's always time to rest. And I believe that the true resistance part of rest is resistance is what we really got to start to uncover a little more. This is not going to be easy work. We are trying to disrupt and push back against very violent systems. Grind culture is violence. White supremacy is violent.

All these things are violent systems that are raging on us. And so to think that it is going to be easy, to think that there isn't going to have to be some type of subversion, some type of inventive, imaginative. I think about my ancestors, I call it the trickster energy, the being able to exist in two different worlds, being able to build community within a culture that was so toxic and violent.

My grandmother working two jobs, raising eight children, healing from post-traumatic stress because she left Mississippi after seeing a lynching during Jim Crow terrorism. She came to Chicago.

And they built new worlds within a world that didn't want them free, that didn't see them as human beings. And so that's the resistance I pulled to.
