• “Regardless of how beneficial it is to heal, there is grief implicit in the process. We were born whole and must relive the brokenness we experience along the way in an attempt to return to a wholeness that will never truly be ours again. What we get instead is wisdom. There are no guardrails on this life - people fall off the edge all the time. And even if you don’t fall, off the edge is where we all eventually end up. The only true certainty for all of us is that this life will end, and life cannot be stored up like currency. It will disappear the moment you attempt to hold it in your hands and examine it. It would stand to reason that this, whatever this is, is all we have. The raw edges of healing may be searingly hot and razor-sharp, but do not confuse the death of your wounds with the death of you.” - @bakaraw → Postcards from the Liminal Space

They absolutely will. 💚 ⠀⠀ I have more messages than I can count from many of you who are wondering what you can do next! While fighting racism will be a long and difficult journey because of how engrained it is in many aspects of society, there are so many steps you can take in the short-term to contribute to change. I ALWAYS talk about the reach you have in your direct sphere of influence, and I finally got a chance to illustrate what my brain sees every time I say this 😂 ⠀⠀ This is not at ALL an exhaustive list, but hopefully it serves as a simplified overview and starter guide for those of you who are ready to move from performative to productive action!! 👏🏾 ⠀⠀ I sincerely hope this helps. Posting a zoomed-in version to my stories since this ended up so tiny!! Also I didn’t get a chance to do this before but HELLO WELCOME ALL 400,000 + OF YOU AMAZING HUMANS!! WOW!!!!!!! 🎉”

  • 💯👆🏻❤️The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it's the only way forward. - @ijeomaoluo 💯👆🏻❤️ (Thank you x a million @achuds for taking this picture in Boystown, Chicago!)
