There is so much work to do. We are not okay.
I'm a strategist. My job is to gather intel, connect dots, read trends, and plot them into the future, all in service of my cause and my people. We're not okay. There are huge opportunities and openings, but we're not okay.
Meanwhile let me just say that the search for simple, categorical narratives should not come at the expense of increasing our own self-knowledge. There is no path to decolonization that does not involve a radically increased level of self-knowledge.
I'm really worried. But I'm also really exhausted, so I'm logging off for the weekend.
Just a final thought - the "war of narratives" isn't about appealing for help, it's about building power (or denying power to your adversary). It really gets to me that we're in a war and so many of us don't even understand the landscape of the battlefield.
