Wow this … needed this reminder that we have survived and we will continue to survive … our ancestors were survivors and so are we are survivors… 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

"You are awakening to the
same country you fell asleep to.
The very same country.
Pull yourself together.
And,
when you see me,
do not ask me
"What do we do now?
How do we get through the next four years?"
Some of my Ancestors dealt with
at least 400 years of this
under worse conditions.
Continue to do the good work.
Continue to build bridges not walls.
Continue to lead with compassion.
Continue the demanding work
of liberation for all.
Continue to dismantle broken systems,
large and small.
Continue to set the best example
for the children.
Continue to be a vessel of nourishing joy.
Continue right where you are.
Right where you live into your days.
Do so in the name of
The Creator who expects
nothing less from each of us.
And if you are not "continuing"
ALL of the above,
in community, partnership, collaboration?
What is it you have been doing?
What is it you are waiting for?"
-- Venice Williams

The Ancestors' resilience, courage, persistence, determination, and prayers run through our veins and deep in our DNA. May peace and justice prevail.

Mental health experts are finding it harder to diagnose eating disorders in men because of the lack of clinical research.

Article I participated in where I share experiences I’ve had with eating disorders as an Immigrant and an Indigenous Latina. The stigmas of ED are so harmful for BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities! Link to article in bio! .uhh
