Happy Yemaya Feast Day 💙

Yemaya, mother of all. Here and there. Queen of the waters primordial and everlasting. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for teach me how to swim. Good. Deep. Thank you for choosing me over and over again. Thank you for teaching me expansion. Thank you for purifying my form and helping me to become all that I am. I am. May we all remember to honor you and show you gratitude in action (through offerings, songs, dance, cleaning up your home (beaches), reducing/eliminating our use of plastics/gas/and other chemicals that pollute your waters). Love is a verb.

Maferefun Yeye Yemaya 💙

P R O U D M O M E N T// I am happy to have been a part of this movement to bring this bill to life. Shout out to Black womyn and all the community organizers out here on the front lines of reproductive justice. We are magic. We can literally move mountains. Hours of discussion with legislators and lawmakers to make sure that coverage is truly accessible for folks in who need this support most. That this coverage would make a way for Doulas, specifically Black Doulas to be able to have flourishing careers in birth work and not be made to sacrifice their quality of life, simply surviving off of passion. This bill means that Doulas will be able to collect payment from Medi-Cal insurance providers and it changes the game as far as access. Work isn’t radical if it doesn’t address the root. The hood is the root. Every body deserves a Doula.

V I T A L I T Y // I’ve come to learn to work with plants not only in terms of their chemistry and anatomy but on a spiritual energetic level. Working with plants in a spiritual sense offers us narratives to work with and address. Plants hold space for the testimonies that are held in our cells and in our hearts (or gut or va**na, or wherever else you hold tension).

Plants illuminate the narratives of life and because of that they can target the narrative of disruption and the things that interrupt life. This is deep healing. Beautiful allyship. These narratives might be yours or your mothers’.

Plants help restore our vitality, our sense of connection to life in this current body and revolution around the sun. The indigenous free wild part of us connects to the indigenous free wild parts of them. We live in radical symbiosis with each other daily in spite of any chaos.

Plants remind me what it means to be in relationship to myself. To return to myself. Return to love. Ms. Lauryn Hill said, “how you gone win when you ain’t right within?” Being a steward of plants and their medicines helps me to realize the potential of transformation, that is divine. Re-membering to be a bridge between here and there. I am grateful.

“...And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman...”- Tupac Shakur

It is only right to be reminded to love honor respect and free womyn always in all ways. 🕊
____________________
“Throughout academia the traditions of goddess worship has been seen as the “other” of male god worship. In studying theology you notice the very male lens from which these religious stories are retold. This otherness has been the framework for western feminism. “Feminism” however doesn't fit the mold of Black womyn. Black womyn, in ancient times, were the only womyn in the world who were born free. All of Africa in ancient times was matriarchal. This is why in spite of the pain and hardship the Black womyn has endured her spirit is so strong and her purpose so determined. Much later, after colonial invasions, especially after the indigenous religions of Africa from Kemet (Egypt) and Kush (Sudan) to West Africa were confiscated and corrupted into a patriarchal doctrine, both African men and womyn began to adopt and spread the culture of patriarchy in Africa. Religion was an integral part of the plot to seize Africa’s riches and her people. Once the womyn is controlled and deemed powerless the people’s power soon goes with it. There is no way that any ancient structures and kingdoms could have been resurrected with this kind of suppressive philosophy. Womyn create a balanced world. Our energy is in sync with the moon. To empower the womyn is to have cosmic devotion-a responsibility to the flourishing of humankind. Matriarchy is not the opposite of patriarchy. In matriarchy women do not control and subjugate men. Rather, matriarchy is based on balance between the masculine and feminine.” -An excerpt from, “Black Lives Matter: A Time for Matriarchy”, written by me (Etecia) on www.Letthemflourish.com/blog/2016/atimeformatriarchy
