“In fact, there was not a single liberation movement in the whole world that was fighting for capitalism.”

So glad to have picked this one back up, now I can’t stop! So powerful and highly recommend

Honoring how much of a work of devotion, love, and intention this book is by Alexis Pauline Grumbs - there is so much reverence for and devotion to Audre Lorde's life and impact. And... I wish it felt more easeful and engaging for me to get through. I think this will be something I pick up every now and then. Every really want something to be a 5/5 but it's just not quite there for you?

Ugh so good

love.

Learning so much, so powerful, abolitionist values, practices, and dreams as shared and explored through history, research, activism, intimate conversations with incarcerated folks, spoken word, and poetry.

Really dragging my feet with the last bit because I don’t want it to end. Fortunately, so much of it is highlighted, it won’t be hard to go back again and again and savor all the wisdom here 🙏🏼

All the chapters have me so inspired, so grateful to be connecting to and remembering ancestral wisdom of what it means to embody belonging to each other and to uplift collective healing. The Expanding Our We chapter has my heart on fire in the best ways

The chapter on relationships though 😭😭😭 my highlighters are so happy and honored to be getting so much action ✨

Wow I wish for everyone I love and everyone they love to read this ❤️‍🔥🙏🏼
