I have been watching Harry Potter & live tweeting my experience for the last few days. #EbonyJaniceOutOfContext is some of my most hilarious work. Baby’s breath in my hair because #TalaniTaughtMe || But also... my locs have grown enough for two little pony tails and I am too pleased with the way they age me back! 🙊 I must tell you that even though I’m an advocate for #BlackGirlLuxury as my standard for living, this #SelfCare work is dark sometimes too. I have learned to moan and sob and cry and pout and tantrum and growl and groan and whimper for my life. The dark parts of my healing journey aren’t bad... it’s just balance. Both. The deeper I go into my softness journey the more I wish, for you, to have these keys. When I discovered the language of #Dreams as resistance I never could have imagined how drastically this journey of divesting from resistance work as we know it would change my world. I’m thinking of leading a small group of women and non men into this work. 👀 Are we ready for that kind of accountability and knowing? 👀 When people ask me what I’m dreaming (especially where liberation is concerned) I ALWAYS say, “I’m dreaming abt making love!” Because #BlackLove is actually my ONLY job. Loving my own black self heals. Loving my own black reflection (Blk women/femmes) heals. Loving a black man heals. Loving all blk ppl (regardless of their gender) heals. So I’m making love! And that’s all. And that’s it. And I’m pursuing this reality with abandon because this IS my activism. To be actually free... not just teaching, preaching, or hoping for it. To walk towards liberation and try it on daily. In this light work and the dark work of becoming - me. #TheEbonyJaniceProject Www.ebonyjanice.com (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPvxWdBhAER/?utm_medium=tumblr
