radical dreaming-
what does liberation feel like?
making the wokeness real.

we don’t need to be progressive.
we need to be free. the tears flow
when the performance ends.
no more saviourism in the throes of
white supremacy. searching
for the authentic me.

a lifetime of internalised oppression
yearning to be white:
assimilate. belong. erase.
this is white supremacy

i didn’t need to be alone in the trauma
i won’t perpetuate it into perpetuity.

nothing without us is for us without us.
we make the path by walking.
nothing without us is for us without us.
we make the path by walking.
nothing without us is for us without us.
we make the path by walking.

this work is about rehumanzing.
i need you to be my accountability partner:
no one cares about your intentions.
they’ll only document the impact.  

my discomfort is a gift.
you discomfort is a gift.
our discomfort is a gift.
discomfort is a gift.

justice will not wait for us
to sort out our shit.
we need to fumble toward
freedom. false generosity
loses value daily.

it’s not us versus them.
it’s us versus the systems.

this true self matters.
my true self matters.
your true self matters.
true selves matters.
this is freedom.
this is healing.
this is justice.

we are radical dreaming
and we are wide awake.
