In today’s world, if we aren’t actively doing the internal and external work to decolonize and dismantle the unjust systems of inequality that exist here on earth, we are contributing to the upholding of this ongoing oppression.

How can we bring our whole selves — with all the intersections of our identities and experiences to the work of collective liberation?
