things i want more of...
and a carousel of what's been bringing joy
Last month, @/alejandrooo made a post on instagram titled “things I want more of” for the start of the spring equinox that definitely caught my eye. having a few quiet moments to reflect on this prompt, i spent an afternoon writing the first things that came to my mind, and i loved it. and i’m sharing these with you.

Looooove this post. Do you have a resource or perhaps a reading list you can point me to to learn more about Black Feminism? I'm so interested in getting involved more with these learnings, conversations, and actions steps towards change.
Also, I want to gift you everything on your list!!! 🤍🫂🍃!!
