We try really hard to not only make sure that we're centered on the matriarchal, but that we are willing to engage in self-transformation.

That may sound like the soft stuff, but that's hard stuff when you think about how colonized we've been and what our education has prepared us to be.

We're the descendants of enslavement and colonization, we are people who come from people who've always honored Mother Earth. This climate justice work is just an extension of us honoring those traditions.

Women's History Month, for me, is like Black History Month in the sense that it's every day. It's not just a month, but it's a life. And it makes me think about my maternal ancestors. It makes me think about all the women who mentored me on my journey to the work that I'm doing and played such a major part in my development, my political understanding, and my cultural grounding. It makes me think about all of them, and I hope that everything that I do honors them.
