I am literally the luckiest person in the world. I am so deeply in love with the person of my dreams. Plus don't we look cute together?! When we were walking around we saw a heart with our initials inside graffitied on the floor - like literally it was meant to be! ❤️💛💚💙💜 (at Wilton Manors, Florida)

Fun adventures around Wilton manors with friends! (Last pic is another shout out to my awesome hair day lol) (at The Alchemist)

Y'all I just had to share because I had a good ass hair day & I was loving my outfit when I went to the gaynors the other week! 💅🏾🐆🌿 📸: @mythematix (at Wilton Manors, Florida)

While the programming at #ddwildthoughts was awesome, the people really made it transformative. I really wish I had more photos of groups of us but big thanks to @hfdavis for getting some great candids of the whole event. Love y'all so much, no way I could really put into words how much it meant to connect with all of you, hear your stories, laugh, chill and learn with you. There are literally too many people to tag, so if we connected at the convening- you know who you are (but big shout out to @browardddod for being super dope and loving, I'm glad you called me in even though your far AF)

#ddwildthoughts

So this is some of the super cool programming & stuff we had during #ddwildthoughts - Pic 1: @thedreamdefenders principles, I tried to pair it as clear as possible but they are pretty interesting and inspiring values and community agreements Pic 2: this is a transformative justice workshop I went to that explored self-care as an activist, some really cool RJ stuff that was happening in nyc with the @audrelordeproject , the different between restorative justice and transformative justice, and different resources to learn the details of how to practice RJ & TJ Pic 3: a direct action training had us organize all the steps to preparing for an action- biggest take always are that there are lots of steps, the order depends on the action, know your goals and audience, and remember to celebrate! Pic 4: I went to a power mapping workshop with little sis (as in the opposite of big brother) - if you haven't heard of them you should totally check it out. I wasn't able to make it to their workshop at @alliedmediaconference last year so I'm glad I got to see this one. They highlighted how dope and inspirational SNCC's research crew was, which was extra cool because we had a member of SNCC there all weekend to tell us about their structure, great stories, and what we can learn from past movements. Y'all there was literally soooooo much more but I was really caught up in the moment lol. I got some great notes but didn't get to take too many photos (you know @mythematix is the photographer lol) I hope this gave you a peak into this amazing convening - check out the hashtag, there is so much more! Especially the incredible music peopled were making- we talk about how the singers like fanny Lou Hamer gave life to movements and I don't think I have experienced how much music and energize and inspire activism until this weekend- check out @nasjamone @sekajipo @arsimmermccoy @padre_legba you will thank me, they will change your life like they did mine. ✊🏾🙀💕 (at Fruitland Park, Florida)

#ddwildthoughts

So some of you may know that a couple weeks ago was the first time I slept away from my partner @mythematix in a long time- I felt a bit self conscious and was a kind of like a kid being sent away to camp since I was about to get on a bus 🚌 full of strangers on its way to some random location in central Florida that would not return to pick us up and take us home for 4 days. I literally was like "....but what if they don't like me and I am stranded?! ☠️💩👀" lol I'm such a baby. What exactly was this, you may ask? It was @thedreamdefenders #wildthoughts convening and it was absolutely magical. I'll tell you a bit about it in then next post, but basically I had nothing to worry about because little did I know I found a group of people that showed me what it feels like to be in loving community, and to have fun while being dedicated to something much larger than yourself: FREEING THE PEOPLE- MIND BODY & SOUL I've been in different movement spaces and I can tell you genuinely that this is what (r)evolution feels like. #love #dreamdefenders #queer #freethepeople #fiance #revolution #blacklivesmatter #wethebest #miami #florida #engaged #family #travel #couple #nonbinary #activism #instagood #bestfriend #soulmate #lgbt #justice #freedom #conference #blacklivesmatter (at City of Opa-locka, Florida)
