   Ep 07: You Deserve Rest & Self-Care

   Historically the BIPOC community has navigated life void of rest. But at what cost? Rest rejuvenates and empowers people for a FULL life. Self-care is not selfish! Can you commit to rest this week? Book Referenced: Rest is Resistance by Tricia Herse Available on Amazon: https://a.co/d/fBedZyY In Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop, casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us.
