I've been quiet in this space for a while, I know.
2025 has been a bear for many of us, but especially for those in the DEI space. The work of centering each other's humanity in our interactions has been demonized, and the performative nature of the efforts of so many organizations was laid bare. '
I could have spun myself in circles trying to decide exactly what would be my next move.
Instead, I did the opposite of what I've typically done. I got quiet. I listened to the wisdom within me. I read, thought, and reflected. In the face of campaigns to target and humiliate Black women, I celebrated our inherent beauty, brilliance, and resilience.
Rest was my form of resistance.
In 2026, I recommit to prioritizing rest and look forward to doing the work of healing from toxic systems in community. The Rest is Resistance Virtual Book Club is a 10-week guided experience explores doing less as a form of resistance using Tricia Hersey's essential book. This collaboration with Charlette Glaus of Incite for Change will encourage us to unlearn, restore, and dream together.
