Today we’re met with a reminder that taking breaks is not only important to our physical health, it’s also important to the health of political movements. We’re joined by performance artist, writer, activist, theologian, daydreamer and founder of the Nap Ministry, Tricia Hersey, to discuss her labor of love to move the work of Black liberation forward by encouraging the sustainability of organizing work – and by that she means, taking more naps! We’ll talk about Tricia’s book Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto, which is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. Rest Is Resistance is a call to action, a battle cry, a field guide, and a manifesto for all of us who are sleep deprived, searching for justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of grind culture.
