Join me and my family today in supporting Black Women's Freedom Sanctuaries. Created by writer/activist/podcaster @miabirdsong Rest is essential! Read more about this important project and please support it if you can at gf.me/u/ytmbgb Every bit helps! ...
“I’m reaching out to ask for support for a project very close to my heart and spirit. Four years ago, I co-founded Black Women’s Freedom Circle, a collective of Black women who gather to support each other in our personal and community liberation practices....
(If you’ve read my book, I write about us in chapter 2). The pandemic has been a struggle for us. It’s also been an opportunity for us to deepen our connections and commitments to each other. We’ve been particularly focused on rest...
rest as a rebellion against the cult of productivity, rest as a birthright, rest as a practice, and rest as a culture.
We decided that it’s time for us to create physical spaces to support Black Women’s rest. Black Women’s Freedom Sanctuaries will be beautiful, safe spaces...
with gardens and healing waters for, and cared for by, communities of Black women. We’ll pilot the first one in Oakland and then support other groups of Black women to create their own Freedom Sanctuaries." - @miabirdsong (photo not poster from @RACHELWEILL)
