A collage of words to draw hope, strength, and inspiration from

Hi there,
today I’m going to use this space in a different way.

This morning, I felt the need to go to the book that guided me during the year, Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba (Haymarket Books, 2023). It always gives me comfort, inspiration, and strength.

I started to take pictures of the passages that resonated the most with me today.

I want to share them with you, hoping they will have a similar impact on you as they have on me.

Book page titled "Chapter 8: Hope and Grief Can Coexist" with a quote from Katie Farris about writing love poetry in a challenging world.
