from bell hooks’ “sisters of the yam: black women and self-recovery”

“For some of us, stopping a stressful work pace may mean confronting “voids” in our lives, areas of lack, unfulfillment, loneliness, and sorrow. Opal Palmer Adisa’s essay “Rocking in the Sunlight: Stress and Black Women” (published in The Black Women’s Health Book) addresses the stress that black women feel when we are just downright dissatisfied with life. Adisa writes:

Did you ever wonder why so many sisters look so angry? Why we walk like we've got bricks in our bags and will slash and curse you at the drop of a hat? It's because stress is hemmed into our dresses, pressed into our hair, mixed into our perfume, and painted on our fingers. Stress from the deferred dreams, the dreams not voiced; stress from the broken promises, the blatant lies; stress from always being at the bottom, from never being thought beautiful, from always being taken for granted, taken advantage of; the stress of being a black woman in white America. Much of distress is caused by how the world outside us relates to us. We cannot control that world, at times we can change it but we can assert agency in our own lives so that the outside world cannot over determine our responses, cannot make our lives are dumping ground for stress.”

Asé, Amin & Amen.

Rest is required for revolution. After 15 years of helping folx create sacred space in transitions, I am allowing my own evolution. My transition work has been exploited, capitalized upon, distorted, appropriated, and a stress dumping ground without regards to my own body.

I claim my return to supporting my own transitions and body with the love, care and compassion I have given liberally.
