Right 2 Exist Festival

This picture and live performance couldn’t have been more accurate! When I saw this performance yesterday, the picture clicked in my head, I knew I had seen this image of what was before me long ago, and i had to compare! May we dance together soon for the Freedom of Falasteen!!! @right2existfest @gazasoupkitchen @vivaxingonaa #freefom #freedomdance #debka

We set out with a humble goal: raise $2,000 for @gazasoupkitchen through our “donation is your ticket” model. And together, we more than doubled it, raising a total of $4,238 through community donations, vendor contributions, and on-site giving. This wasn’t just a festival. It was a living ecosystem of trust, generosity, and collective power. Through confronting our grief together and putting our money where our mouths are, we funded 2 days of operations. Organizers took $0 back to repay themselves for the infrastructure and other things bought out of pocket. In fact, all of our organizers donated in addition to producing this event! From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for showing up, for giving what you could, and for believing that joy and justice can—and must—coexist. #Right2Exist #MutualAid #FromOaklandToGaza #CollectivePower #DonationIsYourTicket #WeExceededOurGoal #LiberationThroughCommunity

As triggering as it is to see people who have harmed and exiled me from 2019 to even this year being held accountable in public ass ways, I am also in fucking joy because I’m not fucking crazy! They isolate you, harm you, lie about you and manipulate your character so others don’t hear about the harm they caused you and it gaslights you on what you experienced. And FINALLY it’s being exposed EVERYWHERE. I’m not no healer. I ain’t not love and light bitch. I’m not medicine person. I’m from the hood of Vegas, grew up fighting to live and I have no problems being petty and saying, WE DONT FUCK WITH YOU! This ain’t an all inclusive fucking free access village. We have high standards and ask people to be fucking honest when they are struggling or out of integrity. And when harm happens, that we are emotionally ready and mature enough to own it, acknowledge, feel remorse, take action steps to repair, and make a praxis to reduce the harm. Anything short of that is neurocolonization and I’m refusing to be colonized by a pretty cage any longer. Who’s fucking with me??

The Uninitiated that pretended to be shamans, guides, medicine people and coaches are being EXPOSED for their grift and I LOVE the Universal Justice system of karma. When someone does me wrong, I just sit back and watch how Creator and the Ancestos handles them & I LOVE this trust, cause it’s time for those who have put in the work and have sacrificed everything for collective liberation to take their place to guide and walk with us to real authentic liberation, and it sure as hell ain’t gonna be all those fake ass spiritual influencers who’s been selling yall snakes oil for a while now

There is a reason so many of us feel like something is off, not just within ourselves, but in the way we have been taught to understand ourselves, because what gets labeled as dysfunction is often a nervous system responding with intelligence to systems that are themselves harmful, extractive, and deeply disorienting. This is the heart of neurocolonization, the recognition that our patterns, our triggers, our so called symptoms do not exist in isolation, but are shaped by historical, cultural, and systemic forces that have trained our bodies toward survival at the expense of presence, connection, and wholeness. Dr. Jenn Mullan’s work offers a powerful reframe, one that moves us out of shame and individual pathology and into context, capacity, and collective care, where healing is not about fixing what is broken, but understanding what happened, what adapted, and what is now possible when we have the right support. If you have ever felt like traditional mental health frameworks did not fully hold your experience, if you have sensed that your sensitivity, your awareness, your depth might be something more than a problem to solve, this work will meet you there and take you further. Neurocolonization 101 is an entry point into this conversation, and “Tapping into Your Ancestral Gifts” opens the door to understanding how what you carry is not just personal, but part of a larger story that can be worked with, integrated, and transformed.

Musings

We’re launching The Nest: Feel Tanks. This is a think tank for the global majority, a space to strategize, make decisions, and act together on what replaces empire, while actively resisting it in the present. Feel Tanks are facilitated strategy sessions that combine analysis with somatic and decolonial methods, not to soften thinking, but to sharpen it. We slow down to see clearly, reduce reactive planning, and build strategies that can actually be implemented without reproducing the systems we’re trying to dismantle. As Fanon reminds us, each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it. The Nest exists because burning empire without building what comes next is not liberation. If you’re ready to think clearly, decide together, and help build the future we want to belong to, registration is open. → Link in bio to register! Space is limited

Just gonna leave this one here today Have they ever been to a protest? Did they speak up about Palestine? Did the raise mutual aid for Palestine from their platforms? Do they highlight BIPOC, queer and actual Indigenous voices who have even given permission to speak by their elders? The charlatans are being exposed and are also trying to hide the fact that they’ve been spiritual siphoning your energy like a vampire for a long time Be wary who you give your time, energy and attention to 👀👀👀👀

Movements do not usually collapse because of external repression alone. They collapse when fear, gossip, and unverified suspicion are mistaken for safety, and when internal policing replaces accountability. This series names how paranoia, badjacketing, and control masquerading as care reproduce the very counterinsurgency logics we claim to resist. Security culture without evidence, process, or principle does not protect movements. It fragments them, shields real abuse, and turns solidarity into surveillance. Originally posted in April 2025

What does it actually mean to decolonize identity — not as an aesthetic or ideology, but as a lived, nervous-system-level practice? In this episode of Compost the Empire, we sit with Evita “LaVita Loca” Sawyers to talk about love, attachment, polyamory, community, trauma, repair, and the quiet ways empire lives inside our bodies and relationships. We talk about: 🌱 being indigenous to yourself 🌱 polyamory as an operating system update, not a trend 🌱 why romantic relationships became sites of survival 🌱 village, queer kinship, and people to do life with 🌱 rupture, repair, and why healing doesn’t happen alone 🌱 love as praxis — choosing to stay, pause, come back, or let go with care This is not a conversation about doing decolonization “right.” It’s about slowing down enough to ask what actually feels native, honest, and at home in your body. 💬 “How am I being indigenous to myself?” 🎧 New episode out now 🌀 Link in bio 📅 Workshop with Evita + Logina: Decolonizing Identity on Feb 1 🔗 bit.ly/NeuroColonization101

Spirituality has been turned into an economy. Ecotourism. Consumption. Spiritual materialism.Portals opened without care, accountability, or responsibility. I share this as someone who has lived below the poverty line for most of my adult life. Healing for liberation is not a luxury practice. It is not reserved for people with money, time, or social capital. It belongs to all of us. Race, class, borders, and identity categories were designed to fragment us. Beneath them, we are facing the same crisis. Neurocolonization disrupting our natural rhythms, severing us from our bodies, our intuition, and our capacity to feel together. What we are actually reclaiming is our place in the symphony of life, each of us an individuated expression of consciousness, not a brand or a performance. Recently, in ceremony, I experienced a somatic blueprint for metabolic liberation. Not an idea, not a concept, but something felt in my nervous system. As the operating system shifted, I could feel neurocolonization exit the body, like a virus being cleared. That knowing did not come from belief. It came from embodiment. So this is an invitation. For those willing to feel again. For those ready to move beyond healing as self optimization and into healing as collective liberation. Neurocolonization 101 is not a workshop for spectators. It is the beginning of a liberation university. Sign up for Neurocolonization 101.
