API Chaya is really outchea giving me opportunities. Instead of facilitating a writing workshop/circle, we're going to do something a little different. For survivors of color who have survived sexual violence, I'll be hosting a community discussion around using poetry as a from of healing.

Intimacy requires vulnerability. And with vulnerability comes the freedom to be our flawed, multifaceted selves.

I've been fighting my brain and been at war with myself for over 20 years. A few things I learned when I started moving out of love, nourishment, and compassion

Sexual violence is othering. It's silencing and isolating. Not just from the acts themselves, but from the awkward silences and lack of community support afterwards. It can be soul crushing, not being able to imagine where in a community you belong. There is no self, no identity without community.

Mostly unedited thoughts on the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial. Accountability is not justice. It's the tiniest of things to hold one person responsible, and forces us to look at it from an individual level and not at the whole system. But I do hope it allows his family some sense of wholeness and emotional closure
