Author, Liberation Activist, and Black Joy Advocate, Tina Strawn joins me for this episode of Please Say Black. During this episode, Tina and I discuss decolonizing one's life and prioritizing black joy and liberation. Together, we discuss the importance of pleasure activism, centering joy and celebration as a way to resist oppression, and the harmful narrative that rest has to be earned. Tina is a racial and social justice advocate, author, and liberation activist.
During the episode Tina mentions Black Women Surfing, Atltantra, Adrienne Maree Brown, Audre Lorde, and The Nap Ministry.
Tina is the Founder of Legacy Trips, which are three-day anti-racism trips visiting the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Montgomery, and the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, and utilizing spiritual practices as tools to dismantle racism.
Tina is the owner of Speaking of Racism podcast, which has been downloaded almost 400,000 times.
Tina is the author of the upcoming book, “Are We Free Yet?: The Black, Queer Guide to Divorcing America ” through Row House Publishing.
"Liberation is ultimately a celebration of our deepest humanity, and our fight for it must include a deeper examination of how we relate to oppressive systems while centering our joy, peace, and pleasure." - Tina Strawn
