While work is a necessary part of life, it’s worth considering how often we work so hard for others and neglect our own need for dreaming, rest, and joy. Dreaming, resting, and embracing joy are not indulgences. They’re powerful acts of resistance against white supremacy and patriarchal oppression. They remind us of our humanity and our right to...

In All The Black Girls Are Activists: A Fourth Wave Womanist Pursuit of Dreams as Radical Resistance, I touch on the historical impact white supremacy has on naming: The intentional stripping and renaming of our African ancestors was used to remove identity to dehumanize and assimilate them. White people re-naming others is a deep-rooted relationship with their...

In her essay entitled “Sin, Nature, and Black Women’s Bodies,” Delores S.
