All in Evolution
I have eased into 2025 with a greater sense of self-preservation than I’ve ever had before. After the whirlwind that was 2024 and these first few weeks of the second Trump administration—where every news headline feels like a plot twist and every day is a battle between the free, the oppressed, and the oppressors—I’m still here. You’re still here. We made it! Can you believe it? We’re still standing, still striving, still choosing to show up. That’s worth celebrating.
Now is the season to fully commit to our individual healing, liberating ourselves collectively, and living in our natural state globally. Rest is our pathway in the physical, dreams are our gateway in the spiritual, and our mental health reflects our current state of well-being.
I believe if the system is the problem, then it is up to each of us to deconstruct ourselves to know ourselves and to recover, and restore our divine laws and natural order for self and collective governance. A new system (or systems) that prioritizes life and sustainability is the means necessary for all of us to be free. Because if the rights of Black folks, queer folks, and women and girls are threatened, the rights of everyone are threatened. No one is exempt from being collateral damage or shackled by the chains of oppression.
Every story has a profound impact on the movement of a city. Tasha Marie's story is one to watch. From her work and advocacy for recovery and mental health to her journey to purpose in the world's largest small city.
We’ve been sold a nightmare dressed as a dream. Convinced that we need saving. Controlled to be inactive. Contained in our misery.
For most of my life, I thought it was about unity among my relatives and family. Then I thought it was all about unity in my community and throughout the world. It wasn’t until I stopped running from myself that I fully recognized that all I’ve ever really wanted was to feel unified within self. To feel whole and at peace in this life.
