reunion with your revolution
With so many forces keeping us disembodied and cutting us off from our communities through tech and exploitative colonial systems, many members of my community, knowing my lifelong healing journey towards Revolution, have turned to me for support.
Born beyond my living room at Beyond the Black Box, my Reunion with Your Revolution offering gives you space to ground and find your way (back) into movement work that doesn't overwhelm you on top of the compounded crises we're facing. You can scroll below to see spaces building revolution that match your interests! If you need a lil extra help with my Haitian guides and healer spirit, request an oracle reading session with me to find your role in the movement grounded in the issues and spaces that best align with your energetic capacity to get involved.
