During my vacation this past week I went to a rave, relaxed & rested, ate great food, and rented an RV for a road trip to a national park bc vacation (and life) is all about balance ✨
Excited to continue living a life grounded in joy and radical hope; honored to help others feel comfortable, safe, and included in the movement to protect people & planet; grateful I can keep making my younger self proud. Happy Earth Day 💚
This #earthday I would love for everyone to learn at least one fact about the impacts of environmental racism so we can all understand how inextricably linked racial justice is with the protection & preservation of our planet

Visiting Albany is always a much needed grounding moment & a reminder that my commitment to people and planet has been an essential element of who I am my entire life. The year after I did this project, the city started an annual coat drive ✨
