The national #protests and #uprisings that took place #summer2020 were a necessary part of getting the #conviction. We must know that the work of #organizing for #liberation, the work of standing up against the #imperialist, #capitalist, #racist, #dehumanizing nature of the superstructure put in place to control the minds, hearts and behaviors of the masses is vital to create the conditions of harmony. Let us be happy for the conviction but let us not be placated into silence, knowing there is much more work to be done. It ain’t over. Much love to liberation workers, energy movers and all those that support us through trying times. The work ain't easy, but is ever so necessary. #blm #georgefloyd #activist #artivist #blackwomen #blackliberation #neworleans taken in New Orleans, Louisiana by @iam_she_ra

Without a clear understanding of power, it’s easy to confuse symptoms for causes, individuals for systems, and outrage for strategy. We begin to misunderstand oppression, exploitation, accountability, and even liberation itself.

Explore questions like:
• What is institutional power?
• What is systemic power?
• What is social power?
• What is people power?
• How is power accumulated, held, maintained, and challenged?
• What is your relationship to power?
These aren’t just interesting ideas, they’re leadership competencies| If you’re leading nition people, building movements, or influencing communities, understanding power isn’t optional. It’s foundational.

To me, what’s missing from the discourse around this song is class analysis. There seems to be no consistent standard for who gets condemned as a “scammer.” Individual acts are scrutinized while systemic exploitation is treated as moral. If we’re going to talk about exploitation, we should also discuss how the economic system itself functions through exploitation.

The question isn’t whether scamming is wrong. The question is why we apply that label to some forms of extraction but not others. If deception and exploitation are the standard, then our analysis should be consistent—from individuals to institutions.

Capitalism can not be separated from racism. Racism is one of things that fuels capitalist exploitation. People love to judge and look down on others while holding up massive theives and murderers. We have to call out the hypocrisy. This is state sanctioned violence on the behalf of capitalist exploitation. #kohenwiliey #senatobiamississippi #capitalism #racism by @iam_she_ra

If truth matters, then no belief should be exempt from examination.

Where did it come from?
Who wrote it?
How was it compiled?
How do we know it’s true?
What counts as evidence?

Every belief produces something.

What does it produce?
Who benefits?
Who suffers?
How does it shape institutions, communities, and lives?

A belief should be judged not only by what it claims, but also by what it creates.

I’ve spent a lot of years living in my head.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been returning to myself through movement, running, yoga, dance, breathwork, and other embodiment practices. I feel better than I’ve felt in a while.

I didn’t realize how disconnected I’d become until I started feeling connected again.

What helps you feel grounded, present, and embodied? What helps you return to yourself?
