the future

Something that I found inspiring this week...from Adrienne Maree Brown, https://sublevelmag.com/issues/the-speculative/report-recommendations-for-us-right-now-from-a-future

Need: Separation weakens. It is the main way we are kept (and keep each other) in conditions of oppression.
Truth: Belonging doesn’t begin with other people accepting us. It begins with our acceptance of ourselves. Of the particular life and skin each of us was born into, and the work that that particular birth entails.
Mantra: Where we are born into privilege, we are charged with dismantling any myth of supremacy. Where we are born into struggle, we are charged with claiming our dignity, joy and liberation.
Possibility: From that deep place of belonging to ourselves, we can understand that we are inherently worthy of each other. Even when we make mistakes, harm each other, lose our way, we are worthy.
Practice: Learn to apologize. A proper apology is rooted in this worthiness – “I was at my worst. Even at my worst, I am worthy, so I will grow.”
Practice: Move towards spaces that value us, let ourselves belong to those communities that know they want us, know they need us, know we have worth, know we deserve more than transactional care.

This is, like, all the things at once. I love the wording "where we are born..." because of course we are born into both privilege and struggle. And this invites us to think about which is which, and from there, where our work lies. What is one thing I can do to take a step in the right direction?
