Need some good news today?

Well not only is #EvolvingFaith happening in 2022, I'll be working with the conference in a whole new way.

I've loved being the @EvolvFaith BIPOC Spiritual Care Leader since 2019 & it's my joy to step into my new role as Community Cultivation Curator!
What's a Community Cultivation Curator?

We're still figuring that out & it will *evolve* over time. Basically I'm tasked with helping think of ways for our community of wanderers & wonderers to more fully connect to God, self, &/or others as they sort out what they believe & why
Here's the fuller announcement which shares this info and bios for our awesome staff like my boo @afreshmind and @osheta!

mailchi.mp/evolvingfaith/…
As a bonus, here is one of my favorite pictures of me ever because I'm sitting between @kathyescobar and @drchanequa who are having two very different reactions to whatever it is that I've said 😂 Image

On the anniversary of one of the most scary, bewildering things many of us have witnessed together, I implore you to consider how storming the capital was just the beginning.

Hospital systems, schools, groceries, & more are at threat for collapse bc of white nationalist violence
The destructive, desperate spirit embraced by the white masses in DC during the #January6thInsurrection didn't die, it was disbursed.

Having faced no consequences, those people went back home & have done all they could to destabilize life for us all.
Our public infrastructures were already a mess before Jan 6th but they are crumbling under the weight of the exercised hubris, selfishness, & desire for hoarded power by insecure people driven by their lust white cultural supremacy & Christian hegemony.

I swear some of y'all are really making me itch with your bad Lil Nas X/#MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) video hot takes. Imma break some things down so you can stop being so doggone obtuse.
1) This video is INTENTIONALLY subversive. LNS specifically said yall stay condemning folks like him (and me) to hell but are mad about how we're thriving there.
2) Montero is masterfully theological and mythological in ways your pastors wish they could be. My man started in the garden with the temptation & entrapment stories of Eve/Lilith, moved to a Greek/European styled chamber of judgement and condemnation...

You may do well to read this thru, @Mysonne

I'm saying you need to read it cause your words are making clear that your praxis is off, fam.

Do you recognize that no one would have shit to say to/about you, Tamika, or UF if y'all wasn't fucking up so bad that ppl are finding ways to support communities yall harm @Mysonne?
I know Tamika from back when I lived uptown but I been gone from NY for the better part of a decade. When I'm calling folks to see what supports they need on the ground and am asked to help coordinate shit when y'all are there, do you see why we got a problem, @Mysonne?

Contrary to fool ass opinions like the one seen below, activism isn't a hobby. When folks are for real about this justice life they're committed to seeing people survive, thrive, & be well, not securing a bag.

If financial incentive is your draw, this ain't the life for you. Image
Working for justice isn't wholly a life of struggle but many of us do know what it's like to hit hard times. We've been/are un- or under insured, homeless, on food stamps, living from check to check, juggling work & justice stuff, & reliant on patronage from those with means.
It ain't easy but these things make clear that we've got us and even when we've struggled, we know the sweet relief of cooperative economics and provision that flows from community, not systemic agents or entities.

A Non-Asian PSA:
In light of some of y'all being determined to show your ass in the wake of #AntiAsianHate here is are some tips to help you not do that:

- an appropriate response to someone mourning is "I see you". Center them, not yourself
- Focus on the pain of *Asian people*, not your relationship to *Asian produced objects*. No one gives a fuck about you driving a Hyundai

- Asians have long dealt with being invisibilized yet othered in this country. The hypervisibilty that's happened in the last year is jarring
- Racial bypassing is a thing many of us do that makes us complicit in more subtle forms of anti-Asian violence. Don't be that person who says "This is sad but let's move onto talking about...." because this is you participating in their invisibilizing & complicating them sharing

"There are things we love or hate about Christianity that still feel to dangerous to explore or or even think about because we've not been given tools to do grief navigation or be honest due to our pain.

I feel this is where my work comes in…"

Dear Loves,
I know my recent posts have brought up a lot for folks recently because of how pointedly I've spoken about religious violence, trauma, fear, and pain in and related to the Christian tradition.
Some of you have felt validated, others triggered, and others still holding a mixed bag of emotions. That's why I wanted to share something with you.
