July 5, 2025: Welcome to this empowering episode of the Black Butterfly Podcast with your host, Drina O'Neill. Today, on her birthday, Drina shares profound insights into the often-overlooked tensions between rest, resistance, and political urgency in the lives of Black women. She highlights the historical denial of rest for Black women and redefines strength, emphasizing the importance of integrating softness and self-preservation into everyday life. Drina explores why rest is a form of resistance and challenges the guilt associated with slowing down, despite ongoing injustices. She argues for the revolutionary act of choosing joy and rest amidst societal pressures. Additionally, Drina unveils her heartfelt offering - "My Self-Care Journey" a workbook designed as a lifeline to self-love and empowerment. Join this soulful conversation about the necessity of rest in activism and learn how to say "yes" to peace, boundaries, and softness. Discover how practicing self-care is not only healing, but an act of political warfare. Fly with strength and rest, Black Butterfly, and embrace the beauty of balancing power with gentleness.
