Grounded in love… utilizing a critical-race, intersectional, class conscious, and equity-based approach hopefully allows people to grapple with the nuances of complex systems change while simplifying how we transform lives and internal operations.

Moving towards simplicity…
In late 2020 and early 2021, I spent 98% of my day in bed due to excruciating pain that halted my day-to-day activities. There wasn’t much capacity for thinking much less physical efforts. In spite of that or maybe because of it, an intuitive and spiritual journey was revealing experiences where I had yet to process and let go of anger and hurt. It also simplified my life and uplifted an appreciation for all that nourishes me, past and present.

The foundation for liberation will continue to be strengthened. The voter turnout, community organizing, and our collective visioning lay the groundwork for mutual accountability. We will continue to focus on systemic transformation and move away from the normalized false responsibility of individuals to conform to oppression and depression. Photo Taken by Mike Puican.
