We’re worried, like you are, about the theaters of war active around our globe. We are angry, like you are, about what the Epstein files reveal, and how nothing is happening to give justice to the survivors. We are furious, like you are that our neighbors are being snatched off the street, and that protestors are being violated by a regime that does not value our lives.

We hurt, family, but we are here. We are bruised but not broken. We are finding ways to make it. We are singing resistance and joy. We are hugging our people and sneaking in some joy. We are being bold in our demand for justice, and also bold in our declaration that we deserve to thrive, and we insist on wellness. We are putting spirituality, justice and art in the world, and ain’t NOBODY gonna turn us around. We are in this, y’all, to build God’s Realm on Earth.
