POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I made this mixtape a year ago in hopes to one day release it when Bruce’s Beach finally returns to the descendants of Willa and Charles Bruce. ⁣
⁣
Check out Bruce’s Beats (now on Spotify and Apple Music) that honors the return of land to the Bruce family and recognizes many other stories of displacement, erasure, and terror when land was forcibly taken from Black, Indigenous, and families of color. ⁣
⁣
𝙒𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙮 𝘽𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙚: ⁣
⁣
“It will allow my family to do what countless other American families have done since our country’s founding: inherit property and build family wealth over generations. The transfer of the property will provide a significant financial benefit for us while also giving us a sense of closure on a troubling chapter in our family’s history.⁣
⁣
“The return of the property also strengthens the legitimacy of our government institutions. When our elected officials use their power and authority to redress the wrongs committed against their people, it shows moral sobriety and demonstrates the validity of how our government can respond to complex issues such as these.⁣
⁣
“The signing of SB 796 adds to the dialogue about how to engage the legacy of racially motivated economic injustices committed in our country against African Americans and others…I’ll never know whether my family’s business would have grown to rival that of Hilton or Marriott, both of which were founded around the same time as Bruce’s Beach and grew from equally humble beginnings.”

Our friends over at @momentumsteam are talking about “self-care for the revolution” in which they’ve asked me to share what’s helping me to care for myself these days.

As much as I talk about meditation + getting out in nature... with so much happening, I’ve needed to find additional practices to help my heart to feel balanced. One of those many things has been the time London and I have been able to spend getting to know this super sweetie-pie, Squirrel. 🐿

If you’ve watched my stories, you know, Squirrel’s self-care practice = naps, chewing everything + treats. 💗✨

My #MomentumSelfCareTips — Adopt/foster a pet friend, pet sit for a loved one, get yourself some animal LOVE, if possible!

ALSO — As part of the challenge @momentumsteam is also accepting nominations for nonprofits doing awesome work they can support on #GivingTuesday.

Of course this is soooo hard, but I nominate two (if that’s allowed):

• @womenscenterforcreativework: Cultivates L.A.’s feminist creative community and practices

• @project_q_ : provides care + safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing housing insecurities.

What about you? What’s your self-care tip + what nonprofit would you nominate to receive $500 on Dec 1st?

Work has been my life raft this year. Not in that - throw myself into overwork - like I’ve done in the past, that hasn’t felt possible. But in that living into what we’re creating in the world way.
I’ve reflected a lot these last couple years on liberation and belonging - on how we can cocreate spaces where we’re fully free and know we belong with and to each other.
I found that this year. Ive wanted to cocreate that from the inside out at SJP, and this year, I’ve found that from the inside out of me.
And in living into that, I feel my grief and our collective grief more deeply, and my joy and our collective joy so much more vibrantly.
I’m feeling into all the corners of my life where I’ve not allowed myself to be free and I’ve not allowed others to be free. And all the ways I’ve taken myself out of community and created disconnection.
I’ve been so scared of what would happen inside my own liberation, would I just fly all the way apart?
Instead I’ve found the relief of feeling held in big laughter and reflection and tears and connection and music and movement, in finally relaxing into all of who I am and knowing I get to be here too, all of me, all the way. And in that, I get to be all the way in with and for all of us.
The first photo is right after a profound moment where Charlotte shared intentions for our team, closing with “without exception,” and my heart just cracked open, as I realized that meant all of all of us, including me.
Huge appreciation to this team and this work and this way of life for holding all of me and all of all of us. ❤️

A month ago, I left to go on a retreat with @wholeheartedcoaching and @liananaima. This was such an amazing and beautiful experience. We saw so much that I had so many intense moments of gratitude, awe, and realizations during this retreat. I'm still recovering from the flight back, and I'm still processing everything I experienced. Thank you, Shirin & Liana, for creating this experience for us. Thank you to all the ladies who attended for showing up as your beautiful,amazing , funny, inspiring, and talented sevles. Thank you to the staff at @mathisubud and everyone on @soulblissjourneys team for taking such good care of us!! Thank you @qnong_siqiwir for teaching us about your culture on our rides through Bali and showing us your beautiful wedding photos💕
Thank you , thank you! 🙏🏾

Even a month that wasn’t great is still pretty damn good in my nook of the world. March was in like lion, out like…slightly less of a lion? I am missing my @shrimshrimshrimshrim here in LA, but excited about the travels that April is bringing. Thanks to 3/23 for the rain (I GUESS), for @laroomandboard ‘s big opening, for a 🤪🤪🤪 wine dinner w/ @amberannsheikh , @omgirlalli @londonmarice , @judiharlan , Sharon and Glenn, for theater adventures with @godfreyplata , for exploring new restaurants with Alex and @ericstrangis , for questionable day drinking with @melanielang361 & @gerritt.lang and for the consistency & grounding of hiking, running , long celebrity debriefings w/ @gab_a_la & for soothing @deepergenius.acupuncture and always, always to my favorite reading nerds @thestackspod Pack. Let’s hope spring plays a more starring role in the coming month, but until it does - still living! 💓
