We Must REMEMBER (w/ Brittany Janay)

Brittany Janay shares her reflections on the power in REMEMBERING–remembering the richness of our history, our lineage, the stories and values of our parents, elders, ancestors. She shares ALL the feels she got after watching, “In our Mothers’ Gardens,” (IG: @inourmothersgardens) a documentary on Netflix directed by Shantrelle P. Lewis (IG: @apshantology). Brittany Janay names “remembering” as resource we have infinite access to. She reminds us and affirms that we are more than our oppression, our pain, our trauma, and our fatigue. We are joy, we are love, we are strength, we are resilience… we are the best of our mamas, fathers, grandmamas, papas, and all those who have come before us–and so… we must REMEMBER. She closes with a poem from her forever favorite, Lucille Clifton.
