What Brings Us Alive"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman. As we make our way into February, there is already so much we carry; our expectations often feeling too heavy. Join us as we reflect on Thurman's words as stepping stones to what brings us alive and makes us feel light(er).

Joy As A Form of ResistanceHelena Liu shares that “Joy is an act of resistance. In a world that insists on our lack of humanity, our inferiority, our Otherness, our revolution starts with celebrating our cultures, our communities, our collectives, and ourselves. Joy can co-exist with pain. Joy can emerge alongside anger, alongside righteous rage. Joy can accompany grief.”
