Rest is Resistance: Reflections From Our Org Break
Earlier this year, I read Tricia Hersey’s revolutionary book, Rest Is Resistance, a manifesto that charges us to reclaim our power and humanity by prioritizing rest. I found myself personally validated by her assertions of the particular labor that is required and demanded of Black women, and inspired by visions of another way to live and liberate through the active practice of restoration. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to put those learnings into practice by taking my first-ever sabbatical this past Summer.
