Tonight was very special and important. Wow. Please check out the “A Return To...” exhibition commemorating #Juneteenth at @sulfurstudios, curated by @alexisjavierexperiments.

“16 Savannah based artists gave our voices to this conversation that includes themes around the African Diaspora, the spirit of Sankofa (looking back to the past), and how contemporary artists process the present through their creative practices to give us a glimpse into possible futures.”

The work will be on display until 6/20. Follow Sulfur Studios for details on upcoming discussions and performances in this series.

From @wanderingempress - "Black mothers are warriors. Every day is another fight for survival. We battle systematic racism and structural violence with our babies on our hips. We do it with our heads held high and a smile on our face. Our bodies are filled with battle scars. Our bodies remember all the mircoaggressions and every inherited trauma. Our cells know the fears and the fight of our foremothers.
.
Let us hold space for each other on our unique paths to healing. Not everyone has the support/ resources to do "what is best", as we are all doing OUR best.
.
Remember the value of everything you do each day as mothers. It's not just for our children, but their children as well. We are here because our ancestors survived. Our goal now is not just for our children to survive but for them to thrive!
.
When we breastfeed our babies, we are engaged in an exchange of love and trust. These are real nutrients that our children will need for their journeys. These are the nutrients that many of us mamas still need. Love and trust is the medicine of our breasts. There is no plant, prayer or potion more powerful than a mother's milk."

🌺Repost: @wanderingempress 🌺Thoughts on 4/20 from a first generation Jamaican herbalist PART 1:
👁🌿👁
Ganja is an ancestral plant that I have such deep respect and reverence for. While most people associate ganja with Rastafari culture, the plant was actually first introduced to Jamaica by East Indian laborers who were brought to the island after slavery. The term “ganja” is actually a Hindu term passed down from the Sanskrit which means hemp or hemp resin. Cannabis use is well documented in ancient, as well as modern day, India and my own research has revealed so many similarities between the way cannabis is used in Indian culture and among Rastafarians today. In fact, so many of the Rastafarian rituals which we attribute to Africa, can actually be traced back to the sadhus of India. As a product of these two cultures, I give thanks to the medicine holders from both of these traditions and their contribution to the healing of the nation.
〰️
Also, much respect to Jamaican pharmacologist Professor Manley Elisha West and ophthalmologist Dr. Albert Lockhart who researched how to turn raw ganja into specialty medicines for glaucoma. They were pioneers in the field of cannabis for medicinal use at a time when ganja was still stigmatized, especially in the medical community. They created Canasol in 1976, which is still one of the best treatments for glaucoma. As we continue to expand on the healing benefits of this sacred plant, let us not forget their invaluable contributions to the movement.

I'm 5 minutes into this glorious lavender Epsom salt and hand picked flowers bath soak, when I hear him wake up from his nap. Should I just wrap myself in a towel and try to nurse him back to sleep? But who knows how long that might take. By then the water will be cold and I'll be ashy and hangry. Or I could just go with the flow.

Truthfully, I'm a little annoyed. This was suppose to be MY bath. I mean, I can't even get him to stay in the tub when it's his bath time, but now he wants a bath. But realistically, I know that this is as good as it gets. So here we are together again, covered in flowers from the backyard, as usual.

I've spent a lot of time craving the kind of self care that you read about on the internet. Long uninterrupted walks in nature, quiet morning meditations, drinking your tea while it's still hot, and warm soaks in the tub. Usually all done alone, because duh, that's the point.

I knew these were slightly unrealistic ideals for a SAHM of two. I hadn't realized how much I had internalized these expectations of self care and how they were actually preventing me from caring for myself. I kept waiting for my life to be a little less chaotic, for nap time to last a little longer, for the sink to be empty. And of course, none of those things ever happened.

So this is what selfcare looks like when you're frazzled and beyond tired AND you still can't get alone time. Self care for mamas more often means more care for everyone. Our families, especially our little ones, are energetic mirrors of ourselves. They absorb the collective energy of the home and reflect it back to us. So when a mama is in desperate need of some self care, so are the babies. No, we can't keep putting our wellbeing on hold but we also can't except it to happen in a vacuum, seperate from our little ones, who are also extensions of ourselves.

This is a reminder to myself and anyone else who needs it. Our children need to be present for our healing.That is how we reclaim our health. By showing them that our well being is intricately woven together. Remember, our medicine is their medicine. 📸@wanderingempress
