On this day...

Today on our 11th day, we get intimate. Not just in the literal sense of intimacy, we also bring in the work of vulnerability, boundaries, self compassion, shadow work , support and trust we’ve done in days 1-10.

Song of the Day

Listen to the full 28 Day Meditation for Black Liberation playlist made by Mark Gutierrez on Spotify.

“Q.U.E.E.N.”

By Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monae brings intersectionality and nuance to the fight for Black Liberation in this song that celebrates her identity as a Black, queer woman. Janelle’s sci-fi eccentricity brings a taste of Afrofuturism to the equation, positioning her as humanity’s androgynous/android guide to the next phase of its evolution: radical self-acceptance.
