Grateful for my teachers and elders, ancestors who survived genocide, war and oppression and came out the other side to teach and lead.
Somatic Abolitionism requires action—and repeated individual and communal practice. Through repetition, you collectively build resilience, discernment, and the ability to tolerate discomfort that comes with confronting the brutality of race, class, imperialism, capitalism and all the systems that hold us in bondage.
In the name of my ancestors who resisted violence against their own people on Turtle Island, who now watch in horror as the occupying empire funds and supports unspeakable atrocities fueled by the very wealth of the land where our ancestors bones feed the soil, I honor their sacrifices and work in small ways everyday to metabolize my own intergenerational traumas to feed and nourish embodied prayers for a better world.
