ReRooting

The leaked SCOTUS document implying an imminent overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US weighed heavily on millions of minds this week. Deeply saddened, angry, and unsurprised, Rebelle gets to the heart of why they are pro-abortion and pro-lives of the living.

After a too-short chat with a cousin and fellow world roamer, Rebelle talks about the extraordinary in an ordinary existence and the ability to keep imagining when life turns out in previously unimaginable ways.

After a week of relative calm in a new and more comfortable location, Rebelle contemplates the way grief on pause from the last two years finally begins bubbling to the surface and reminds themselves that transformation and loss go hand in hand.

In a calmer moment of life, Rebelle identifies and unpacks some internalized misogyny and racism regarding the valuation of certain types of work, gendered roles, and the ways in which those messages informed many decisions they made. This was originally recorded on 3.27.22

Not even a week after moving into a new home and neighborhood, the presence of an abusive and erratic neighbor prompts Rebelle to cut her time there short and move themselves to a safer location.

As Rebelle moves from South London to north of The River on the tail end of an allergy/cold combo, surprising feelings arise when left wandering through a Westfields.

Recorded on 3.18.22 after a night out with new friends. An update on how it feels to be in London the last few weeks and a love note to all those who have supported this change.

Rebelle thinks about divisiveness and living based on the reality of a situation.
