life's work

My body is accustomed to compromise.

I learned at a very young age how to 

negotiate space.

How to apologies for the way that my 

body fills all the places that it

occupies and all the places that it 

doesn't.

Teaching my body to grow free, 

and wild, 

and to not be afraid to exist, 

has become my life's work.

 “I’m an entrepreneur of social change,” Steinem says. “I talk. I write. I tell stories. I want to do justice to the women I meet.”

Have a beautiful weekend!
I'll be selling my wares at a feminist fiesta and celebrating my birthday, hence this Georgia O'Keeffe sunrise and gif. The combination is how I feel.

“The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.”
