✨ New week. New reminders.

Let’s reset together:
• Leave yesterday where it was  • You do NOT have to do it all at once - one step at a time  • Your time is coming  • If it doesn’t align with you, you can say no

Protect your peace. Move with intention. Start again if you need to.

🔥The cast & crew of Sinners did their big one! We’re still celebrating tonight’s Oscar nominations & wins. The movie — and tonight’s performance — gave us so many gems.

Some of our takeaways:

• Protect your space - Not everyone deserves access to your energy. Don’t let everyone inside!
 • Black art carries history - Our music, stories, & performances hold generations of culture, resistance, & truth.
 • Community is protection - The spaces we build for joy, culture, & connection can also be spaces of safety & care.

Did y’all see tonight’s performance? 👀 What was your favorite part?

Sometimes in our community we’re taught to push through, be strong, & keep it moving. But protecting your mental health means listening to yourself.

If something feels off…pause. If your spirit feels heavy around certain people…notice that. If your peace disappears in certain spaces…believe that.

Your intuition is your mind + body trying to keep you safe.
