A Care Package For You
Because We Need Gentleness
Please, take a breath.
Each month I curate a Digital Care Package on my Patreon of resources that inspire, engage and create spaces of softness. I made the November edition open access as many of us need of care today. I know I do. You can download it here.
In the months ahead, I’ll be sharing content there on mutual aid, community building and how to create new models of care. If you have the means and find value in my writing, you can join at any tier to support my continued work.
As for me, I need to head to Mexico as quickly as possible. I had planned to make a temporary stop in Atlanta but no - it’s time to go. I am sincerely afraid to leave my home in Ohio at the moment.
This is a top tier day to run back my post titled “White People Don’t Think About This- But I Do Every Single Day.”
I’ve wanted to move for the past 2 years but haven’t been able to because I suck at capitalism and I live in chronic poverty.
I’m stuck in a country that hates my existence because I don’t have money.
I’ve been trying my damndest to make it happen and *checks notes* I am still here.
This. Is. Hard.
I am weary but determined.
Tangible ways you can support the safety, sanity and wellness of a Black woman?
If you have the means, upgrade to a paid subscription or send a gift subscription.

I constantly question why I exist. Now I think it’s because I have work to do here.
With that said, I can’t do it while my basic needs remain chronically unmet and I struggle with survival.
As I often say “the cost of living is a terrifying phrase that should not exist.”
We deserve such a better world.
Let’s get me to Mexico (or at least the hell outta Ohio.)

Thank you so much for making it open access. (Finances got a bit uncertain here, so for the time being, I need to check what I spend on.) Today we really need all the softness we can have. And I believe you have work to do here indeed.
