the working manifesto of a black mama warrior woman trying to get free or forty5 ways to get you some freedom
take gentle care of yourself and others
embrace all the shit that makes you different
deal with your shit so others won't have to
find and accept what motivates you at your core and let that shit guide you
make promises to yourself and keep them then forgive yourself when you break them and allow space for new light in at the seams
write and share your racial autobiography
construct your own table and invite your tribe to sit at it
fall so that you know what is too far and what is just enough
eat the good food and drink the good drinks
radically own and speak your truth
speak 1/n of the time or less
hug like you mean it and be the last to let go
accept the compliments
seek work life fulfillment
believe and trust the universe
make, accept and be a miracle
wear whatever the fuck you want
create something meaningful
stand up for what is just
make space for all of us to get free
go where you are valued
know that you are enough
let the tears flow when they come for you
listen to the youth and respect the elders
trust and follow black women
support black owned businesses
have way more sex
walk barefoot on the earth
practice yoga
read books
love out loud
listen to the ocean
be all love with appropriate doses of rage
be a safe space
be the revolution
be intentional
be spiritual
be honest
be accountable
meditate
participate
laugh
resist
surrender
be
