What happens when you pause, not to come back stronger, but to become more aware of what you’ve left unattended?
In this solo episode of REPRESENTED, I’m reflecting on what it means to truly rest — not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, and creatively.
Off the back of my solo trip to Kenya, I’ve been thinking a lot about what happens when we step away from the go-go-go pace of life and begin to notice what’s been dormant in us.
This episode isn’t about productivity hacks or bounce-back culture. It’s about rest as resistance. Rest as renewal. And rest as a necessary part of doing this work of racial equity and inclusion.
I share how pausing has shifted my perspective, allowed me to tend to the parts of me I’ve neglected, and reminded me that I can only hold space for others when I’m well held myself.
If you’re in a season of busyness, burnout, or even questioning — this one is for you.
