not sure if there was ever a time in our lives when we needed freedom fighters the most.

not since roughly our grandparents

has anyone asked our elders what we should do?

do them niggas even matter anymore?

"Get ready....for your blessing....."

It took at least a month to get that permanent blood off my character.

violence is not the answer
you sound like the lady in the break room
talking about, go to war..

yeah, let's put a dent in it...

lol

I work with non-profits, civil organization, governmental agencies like the justice department to see the change I want.

I am into fundraising for those worthy causes.

I just think that stuff is far more effective these days than folks in the streets with guns.

been teachin hard (via my high school visual and media art classes) on the militant civil rights movements, artist-activists like emory douglas of the panthers (who i eventually painted alongside in mexico for a zapatista mural solidarity project), peace work via the amazing homies unidos org, did some other social/political art projects abroad, supporting yoga and capoeria partnerships for my high school youts (and me), and generally trying to have fun while in it. tryin to model that (intentional) work hard, play hard for hundreds of youts and like-minded peoples every year.

edit - check out these two dope orgs to stay healthy in the movement: the people's yoga in boyle heights, and omulu capoeria. both are really dope spaces with people well familiar with how constantly advocating/doing movement work can be tough on one's health.
