“The moral of the story is: We thrive when we have a positive goal to move toward, not just a negative state we’re trying to move away from.”
Emily Nagoski, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

“The message that society sends to black women is that their hair does not belong to them but is fair game to be discussed, mocked, judged, used, and abused, and it serves as a home for people’s preconceived notions about blackness, as if it is an abstract concept that is not connected to living, breathing, and feeling human beings.”
Phoebe Robinson, You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain

“Making lots of little choices without being aware of trying to avoid anxiety can add up to big choices we never thought we made.”
Susan M. Orsillo, The Mindful Way Through Anxiety: Break Free from Chronic Worry and Reclaim Your Life

“Boundaries give us the space to do the work of loving ourselves. They might be, actually, the first and fundamental expression of self-love. They also give us the space to love and witness others as they are, even those that have hurt us.”

“Movements tend to become the practice ground for what we are healing towards, co-creating. Movements are responsible for embodying what we are inviting our people into. We need the people within our movements, all socialized into and by unjust systems, to be on liberators paths. Not already free, but practicing freedom every day. Not already beyond harm, but accountable for doing our individual and internal work to end harm and engage in generative conflict, which includes actively working to gain awareness of the ways we can and have harmed each other, where we have significant political differences, and where we can end cycles of harm and unprincipled struggles in ourselves and our communities.”
