RADICAL SELF CARE: ANGELA DAVIS

Do you know what kind of BOSS you have to be to utter the words "I started practicing yoga and meditation when I was in jail." We have to stan

Panthers were ALWAYS about healthy eating and feeding the community good food. They emphasized this in the 60's & 70's before it was popular.

i'm so excited she's around to see this

We are taught to devalue ourselves to feed a greater system. To me, opting out of those beliefs to feed ourselves first and foremost is as revolutionary as it gets.

“If we don’t start practicing collective self care now, there’s no way to imagine, much less reach a time of freedom.”

Thank You, Big Sister, for your commitment to a life in the struggle. The first time I saw Professor Angela Davis was in the 70,s. I was just starting high school in Greenwood Mississippi, where JIM CROW was very much alive. From the minute I saw her on TV, I was instantly inspired and terrified. I had never heard anyone Black, let alone a Black Woman speak truth to the White power structure in such militant terms. She had an Afro like mine. I returned to the familiar routines of small-town Southern life, unaware that a seed had been planted. Today I am a Nurse with a consulting practice in Public Health, focused on Health literacy reducing, Health Disparities, and now fighting COVID-19. I am also actively engaged in meditation and other contemplative practices. From my Heart-Mind to yours, Radical Love and Compassion

Introspective work is so important, she’s right. You have to know yourself in order to pave the way as a leader or someone who will shine a light on hardship.

I'm so grateful she's still here. What a BEAUTIFUL legend.

hey. my name is Trawann Council. I love you. I am a high school graduate and a college student to now. please continue to pray for me. have a blessed and wonderful day. peace and love thank god for that now. I am grateful and thankful for you. my goal in my own life is to graduate from college and to get a job.

Her voice, the way she talks, has been the same her entire life. I live her message, I love her message, but her voice is a cherry on top.

That was beautiful and a necessary message. Thank you, thank you 😌🙌🏽✨

For me radical self-care is about valuing yourself, not feeding a system (any type of system) feeding off of you.

Dear Miss Davis, I was a little girl in Soviet Russia many years ago watching you on television, I am so delighted to see you now because you were such an inspiration to me!! Thank .you so much for your endless dedication and honesty you are amazing🥰

I love this platform! I'm looking forward to seeing what lies ahead. Angela Davis has ALWAYS been close to my heart for her struggle, her fight, and her blackness! I met her at a wedding in Ohio years ago, and I must admit it was an honor! Power to the People!

I heard her speak when I was a freshman in college in early 70’s. She moved & inspired me then. She’s had her own evolutionary path, as we all have. I still find her inspiring & moving! ❤️🌈🌎❤️

imagine living through two civil rights movements across 2 centuries

What an intelligent and lovely person. I have been reading Angela since I was 13. We’re so blessed to have SISTERS like these in our lives.

I love Angela”s calm and collective voice. She inspires me to be better. I would love to meet her one day.

In 1972 I was lined up on the summer camp stadium outside of Moscow USSR with other kids my age. We were forced to shout "Freedom to Angela Davis!". In Russian language of course. I screamed from the top of my lungs. They promised me a jeans jacked for this. American jeans jacket. I am still waiting. Svobodu Angele. Davis!!!! Where is my jacket???

I have appreciated this women since I was a young woman in college. Now as a mature woman I still appreciate her wisdom.
