With so much upheaval going on and so many fires to put out, it's easy for us to get wrapped up in despair or hopelessness. It's easy for us to get fixated on our activist work and forget about joy. In this week's episode, I talk about how essential it is for us to be present in the now while also looking and imagining a liberated future. We need the sweetness of our lives in order to remember why we're doing this work at all. Tune in to hear some ways to enjoy our lives now, especially as a mode of resistance in the face of oppression.
