What is ROOTED about exactly? (Explainer post)

🤎 Rooted makes another case for reparations as a racial, economic, and environmental justice policy. It is impossible to understand the twenty-first-century racial wealth gap without first unpacking the historic attacks on Indigenous and Black land ownership. Who owns what on stolen land? Who owns what with stolen labor? How has extractive treatment of the land hurt people, animals, and the planet? To answer these questions, we must be willing to face one of this nation’s first sins: stealing and hoarding the land.

🤎 Rooted traces the experiences of my own family’s history of having land violently taken from them, in Kentucky and North Carolina, to explore historic attacks on Black land ownership and understand the persistent racial wealth gap. It also centers their resistance and stewardship as acts of radical love.

🤎 Beyond examining the effects of the violence of centuries past, Rooted is a testament to the deep resilience of Black farmers and landowners — like my paternal grandparents — who envisioned an America with them at the center: able to feed, house, and tend to their communities. By bearing witness to their commitment to freedom and reciprocal care for the land—even as it came at great personal cost—we can chart a path forward.

Was 2020 the beginning of your journey towards abolition? Take a walk with me and see a bit of mine. It’s a long and winding journey — I hope you see yourself in it and get new inspiration for going deeper. Link in bio.

Spent an evening at the Georgia Aquarium raising money to fight domestic violence and support survivors. The spirit must’ve really moved me cause I spent a pretty penny and walked away with an inperson book club session with @tayari! I can’t wait to unpack KIN over wine and food. And I’m even more proud that my reader dreams are also supporting women starting over free of violence and fear. 💙

This week I talked to @freckledwhileblack about Black and Indigenous solidarity for my Substack. Author and activist Brea Baker and I talk about shared histories and solidarity—if we want to dismantle this thing called white supremacy, we need each other.

It’s #BlackMaternalHealthWeek and it hits different this year…

I’ve been a mom of two for almost 6 months now and it’s been a *whirlwind.* Through the grueling breast feeding journey and sleepless nights, watching my boys fall in love with each other has been the greatest gift. Their brotherhood is so special, loving, and kind.

This week also comes at a time when high profile, well educated Black mothers are being murdered by their Black husbands, boyfriends, and exes. I think of what it took for these women to fight the world every day while climbing the ladder to come home and fight some more. To mother through that constant fear and violence. To know that if this is happening to women with visibility and means, we already know it’s happening even more to working class Black women, trans Black women, Black women living with religious shame, etc.

Mothering is the most important, most under appreciated, most difficult job out there. For Black women, this is especially true because bringing children into the world can be fatal. Surviving that to then mother through inflation, mass incarceration, police brutality, immigration enforcement, school shootings, shitty food, and everything else… WHEW! My heart is heavy.

And still, I mother. I am more committed than ever to the task of racing my two beautiful Black boys into safe, compassionate, thoughtful, protective adults. Doing so will be one of my greatest contributions to this Earth.
