I’m looking forward to exploring bell hooks’ w I’m looking forward to exploring bell hooks’ work in our writing group tomorrow evening. As a reminder, all June proceeds will be matched and donated to @eji_org – and we’ve already raised more than $200! Keep showing up. Keep doing the work. Keep fighting to dismantle racism in all forms, internally and externally. Keep fighting for justice with fierce love. #linkinbio
One of my favorite meditation techniques is checki One of my favorite meditation techniques is checking in with your head, heart, and gut (intuition) to see what each has to say. Are any areas agreeing with each other? Often, the messages are conflicting. You might even start to notice that a “voice” you’re hearing isn’t yours at all but something learned from a parent, friend, or society. Even if you can’t get these internal messages to agree, can you at least ask them to respect one another? As within, so without. If we want to see a more peaceful world, it starts with ourselves. Bringing awareness to these different “voices” is the first small step we can take toward compassionate action. Join me tonight for inner exploration through meditation + journaling, along with community dialogue + connection. Sign up at #linkinprofile 📝

Her neighborhood in Birmingham was nicknamed “Dynamite Hill” for the number of homes targeted by the Ku Klux Klan. In 1970 she was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List on false charges, and was the subject of an intense police search that drove her underground and culminated in one of the most famous trials in recent U.S. history. During her sixteen-month incarceration, a massive international "Free Angela Davis" campaign was organized, leading to her acquittal in 1972.

Did you know Maya Angelou didn’t speak for five Did you know Maya Angelou didn’t speak for five years when she was a child? If she never used her voice, the world would never know her beautiful words and stories. I’m looking forward to examining more of her work this evening during my writing group and will continue to share + amplify Black voices. This month, I’m donating + matching all proceeds to @eji_org. As Maya Angelou said in her documentary (video clip in my stories), “the power of hate is *almost* as strong as the power of love.” Let’s use our voices – both spoken + written – to be a force for love and justice.

If you know me as a writing coach or preschool yog If you know me as a writing coach or preschool yoga teacher, then you probably know I’m a big fan of Ganesh, the elephant-headed Hindu deity known for his love of sweets, throwing his tusk at (+ breaking) the moon 🌝, and removing obstacles from our paths. But did you know he’s also the one that places them there? If you’ve ever written an important letter, email, or assignment then it somehow got lost, deleted, or eaten by your dog, it was probably the work of Ganesh. As painful as that “obstacle” was (it’s happened to me many times), chances are your second draft came out even better than the original. I call on Ganesh during all of my writing groups, as he’s also known for helping with writer’s block (he’ll be there tomorrow - sign up at #linkinbio👆), and I already feel him clearing obstacles in my “Reclaim your Creativity” course that meets on Saturdays. If you wanted to sign but didn’t get a chance to, reach out to me, as I’m extending enrollment another week! #omgamganapatayenamaha
