Today is the pub date of #ByTheFireWeCarry. I’m thinking a lot about the shoulders I stand on. My parents who have always had faith in me. The friend who celebrated milestones and coaxed me through the overwhelm. The incredible staff @HarperCollins who guided this book into being
Earlier this week, I assigned my undergraduate students’ an interesting task: to take a nap. In a world (and in academia) that is so bent on grind culture and constantly being busy, I wanted to remind them that rest is a requirement, not a privilege, to be their best selves

The ideal sleep time of 7-8 hours was based on studies conducted on men. It wasn’t discovered until recently that women produce almost all of their hormones while sleeping, unlike men who also produce hormones while awake. For women that process takes 9-10 hours.
In a world so committed to displaying Indigenous suffering on repeat, here are some recommendations that display Indigenous joy ☀️:
TV: Rez Dogs, Rutherford Falls, Mohawk Girls
Podcasts: All My Relations
Movies: Smoke Signals, Frybread Face and Me, Love Alaska
I want to take a moment to manifest softness, ease, peace, and opulence into the lives of all my Indigenous queens out there. We’ve been resilient and tough long enough and our era of rest and luxury is upon us.
The Taylor swift drama just shows me that men (and even some women) are committed to dismissing and even downright hating the things that women enjoy. Other examples are Stanley cups, makeup, Snapchat filters, and sooooo much more

Joined a book club & was excited to read this month’s book, The House in the Cerulean Sea…until I wasn’t. It was written by a white man & listed as 1 of 2020’s best “feel good reads” but it was inspired by the forced separation of 20,000 Native kids from their families in Canada

So if your granny’s grandma was enslaved, the egg (that would become your granny) in utero was in your enslaved great great grandma’s body. Thus your body is made of cells that were literally in an enslaved person’s body WHILE they were enslaved.
