Where have the Queens of Black Gaze been? We have been resting and resisting capitalism and non-melanated domination. Dr. Kisha Porcher & Dr. Shamaine Bertrand, lean on the work of Tricia Hersey; specifically her book, Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto. We share our hearts about the ways in which we are resting and renewing our spirits daily, while resisting grind culture. Our ancestors wildest dreams were not to engage in capitalist and grind culture, but to live a life of purpose, love, joy, peace, abundance, ease, luxury, and rest. As Hersey states, rest is our birthright. For more resources on resting, check out the Nap Ministry.
