Love is all around you. From self-love to God’s love, we all deserve love in abundance. God wants us to love our people and our Blackness in spite of how we might be portrayed by others. This scripture is the perfect reminder. #PushBlackSpirit #Faith #Spirituality #BlackLiberation #Luke10 #GoodSamaritan

In moments when we doubt ourselves, it’s easy to lose hope. But only God knows what we were sent here to do. The moments of the strongest self-doubt are the moments we most need to surrender to Spirit. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. surely learned this lesson. #PushBlackSpirit #Faith #Spirituality #BlackLiberation #DrMLKJr #IHaveADream #Birmingham

“God is change.” – Octavia Butler. The ability to change lives in all of us. The practice of change lies in a sacred, Afro-diasporic wisdom. In our fight for freedom, we must be like God: fluid. To embrace fluidity is to embrace our inherent divinity. #PushBlackSpirit #Spirituality #Ashe #Olodumare #Yoruba #Ifa

Audre Lorde’s fight against cancer reminds us life is short. We shouldn’t fear death. We should fear not being present for our lives. Have the courage to surrender to God’s purpose for us. And then live so fearlessly and be so unapologetically Black, we go out like a meteor. #PushBlackSpirit #AudreLorde #BreastCancer #LiverCancer #BlackAuthors #BlackLiberation #Spirituality

Justice is not an “eye for an eye” mentality. Justice is mercy wrapped in grace. Holding someone accountable while not stripping them of their very beings. Revenge is easy. Forgiveness is hard. Accountability is sacred. Abolitionist work is spiritual. #PushBlackSpirit #Faith #Cain #Abel #Accountability #Justice #Bible
