“One way to fight the system of oppression is to not participate in it. Step away and rest your mind, body and soul.” - Leslieann Hobayan
Today's podcast is about creating spaces for Women of Color. We live in an environment where we experience suffering and pain because of who we are. We feel like we do not belong. Creating safe spaces only for WOCs gives us the opportunity to freely share our experiences. No judgement, no explanation. It’s important to celebrate who we are being, hold each other up, and step into our power. How can communities of WOCs support our healing journey in a world designed to harm us? And how can rest--our rest-- disrupt this system of harm? (Thank you The Nap Ministry for leading the way in rest as rebellion!)
Listen along to the full episode as we strive to step away from oppression and make a safe place for women of color.
