Started the new year with creative family that I've been fortunate enough to remain in orbit with since 2013. With some spirits it's so simple. Check the 3rd pic for throwback vibes. @theladydeja thank you for taking time, being generous and making space for me. You're an true artist and goddess. Connecting, catching up and having you and @deetrannybear in my home felt too good. Grateful for every moment spent with @double_d_production + @yumikosakuma @naokomaeda. Can't wait to see the piece with final pictures. Here's to continued collabs and supportive uplifting love. (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/B64TpRDFiEX/?igshid=7qnnmsf1bjo4

Was thrilled to welcome two of my #ReSisters (Monique and Kate) along with Clara of the Power Thread to the Assemblage NoMad, our @humblebloomco workspace in September. Head to my bio to read the article on how the @resistancerevivalchorus helped me find community and so much more. READ: https://thepowerthread.com/kate-quarfordt-monique-jebessa-and-solonje-burnett-on-the-power-of-the-united-voice/ Reposted from @thepowerthread (@get_regrann) - Meet Kate Quarfordt, Monique Jebessa, and Solonje Burnett - three members of the @resistancerevivalchorus! The Resistance Revival Chorus is a group of women-identifying people who collectively bring together songs of resistance and power as a tribute to the historical importance of music in protest movements. The Chorus was created in 2017 by a group of women who worked on the Women’s March. ⁠ ⁠ The Power Thread sat down with @katequarfordt, @Moniquejebessa, and @Solonjeburnett, at @theassemblagenyc in NoMad, New York. We spoke about their relationships to music and social justice and how they cultivate inspiration and power. ⁠ ⁠ Read their full story on our website!

Moving into December with focused determination. 2020 adventures in sight. Staring exhaustion in the face and powering forward. No time for hair and makeup. Currently Sunday grinding for @humblebloomco because I believe in what @dannielswatosh and I are manifesting within the cannabis space and beyond. Using this plant to connect, uplift, and inspire. So many challenges this year but a passion for continual growth and exploration fuel my spirit onward. I'm grateful for this journey and all the humans who've held me up so I can stand tall again. 📷 by @amber_lokatys right before load out at #HBFieldTrip at @asterfarms @lodgebluelakes #HumbleBloomCo #entrepreneur #cannabiscommunity #socialequity #sustainability #CBD #purposedriven #cannabae #femalefoundercollective #bloomconsciously (at Upper Lake, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5jOcArliik/?igshid=z27ya4desirw

Humble Bloom was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year at CannaGather's 5-Year Anniversary Summit this spring.

Thank you @themarymag amplifying our @humblebloomco #HBFieldTrip experience. Pure labor of love and community. Curating, developing and producing this with my work wife @dannielswatosh changed much about how I move in the world. But more importantly altered mindsets of those participating to be more conscious in theirs. We are creating changemakers who will move the cannabis industry forward with inclusion, equity, and sustainably at the forefront. Couldn't do it without supporters so again thank you to @flow_kana @asterfarms @finehealinggoods @discovershade @treefemmecollective "It began with the smell of burning wood and heavy smoke wafting through the fresh mountain air. By the end of the weekend, the Kincade wildfires would grow to seismic proportions, causing widespread evacuations across Sonoma Valley and Blue Lake, clocking in as one of the largest wildfires on record for the region. But at the picturesque Lodge at Blue Lakes, culture curators, Humble Bloom, created an oasis of community and cannabis amidst the chaos. Forty individuals traveled from across the country for Humble Bloom’s annual Field Trip, an inclusive weekend retreat aimed to forge community between cannabis leaders and enthusiasts. Through thoughtful workshops, engaging panel discussions, cannabis farm tours, and wellness explorations, the Humble Bloom team aimed to forge bonds and build community through cannabis education." #HumbleBloomCo #plantedunderanewmoon #cannabiscommunity #purposedriven #cbd #kincadefire #wellness (at Upper Lake, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Nf36_FJxu/?igshid=1foqd7dahuiw7

MONDAY: I'm co-facilitating an exploratory journey of consciousness, mindfulness and human connection for Black and Brown people in @frequencymind planetarium for healing. Let's hold space for ourselves and eachother. Reserve your spot at http://frequencymind.com/booking Hope to see you there 🤹🏾✨💆🏾 Reposted from @frequencymind (@get_regrann) - BREATH AND STOP🙏 This Monday evening (11/18) from 7-9pm! Black and Brown people need their own spaces. Places where we can gather and be free of society's stereotypes and marginalization. We need spaces where we can be our authentic selves without judgment so we can show up naturally. We need spaces where we can simply be. Where we can stop, breathe, and finally realize just how tired we are. When people of color intentionally come together, there can be healing. Let's reclaim parts of ourselves that have been repressed. We can redefine ourselves and support one another in the vulnerability of being who we are. Embrace the layers of your identity by being in community. Taught by Solonje Burnett (@solonjeburnett). . .

Since returning from the #HBFieldTrip the way I see, move, feel, express and breathe has shifted. Moved from non-stop community curating to extended moments of self-imposed isolation. So much growth occured in the weeks leading up, while driving through the smoldering NorCal hills, and upon re-entering NY and being confronted with the now. Even when you've unearthed new dreams, the ones you left behind can creep up and knock you over momentarily. Lying just beneath the surface, waiting for you to slowdown, feel, and process. I was asked recently in an interview what makes me feel powerful. It was actually a really difficult question to answer. How does a black woman in America (or anywhere for that matter) without generational wealth or support of a partner feel in control? Sick of hearing that I'm so strong. Black women have no choice but to be strong. When your an empath and emotions, oppressions, and energies enter your spirit without warning. Waves and surges of past and future collided and almost toppled me over. But I realize this is healing... I've been strong, working, constantly moving, helping others and yesterday I stopped. Finally focused on what's within. Being vulnerable, sharing, and facilitating community connection makes me feel powerful... so does this @marahoffman hemp dress. All jokes aside, taking a beat to care for me, makes me feel whole. Happy Friday babes.
