"Rest as Revolution" Design
The urgency of this work cannot be overstated. For centuries, women of African descent in America have been denied the fundamental human right to rest. From the transatlantic slave trade to the present day, Brown women have been subjected to relentless exploitation, forced labor, and systemic oppression that has deprived them of the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate. This intergenerational trauma continues to impact Brown families today, perpetuating cycles of poverty, ill health, and disadvantage. "Rest as Revolution" is a critical step towards dismantling this legacy of injustice and reclaiming the right to rest and well-being that has been denied to Brown women for far too long.
"Rest as Revolution" is a holistic design that includes a range of initiatives specifically designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and foster personal growth and resilience among participants. Through opportunities for travel, participants will have the chance to step away from the stresses of their daily environments and rejuvenate in new and inspiring settings. Our wellness initiatives will provide participants with the tools and techniques they need to manage stress and cultivate well-being.
Voice
Narrative Justice
Through immersive travel, culinary, art, and cultural wellness experiences, "Rest as Revolution" empowers marginalized women and youth to use storytelling as a tool for creating new, empowering narratives about their lives. By challenging dominant stories and claiming their voices, participants can foster a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world, and develop the confidence and resilience they need to overcome adversity and build a brighter future. This program is intentionally designed to support marginalized communities, providing a safe and inclusive space for participants to share their experiences, honor their strength and resilience, and envision a future where they can thrive.
Storytelling
Story Circles
Community Story Circles provide an opportunity for women and youth to share their stories of resilience in an encouraging space. This allows them to develop new narratives that incorporate positive emotions such as joy and optimism.
