Last Sunday, I hosted my first flexibility workshop (a project I’m calling Bend, Don’t Break) after a month of nerves and uncertainty at whether or not something like this could work. The idea was to pursuit movement for a movement–a literal stretching toward contributing to progress—where the class was open to anyone who donated towards pro-Black organizations of their choice. Together, we raised money for the following organizations: Association of Black Women Lawyers of New Jersey BHAM Community Support Fund Black Girls Code Black Lives Matter Global Network Black Trans Femmes in the Arts Defend Black Memory, Black Museums, and Black Life Equal Justice Initiative Homeless Black Trans Women Fund NAACP NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund The Okra Project This wasn’t the same as protesting, I know. I’m still racking my brain trying to reconcile between staying at home and physically showing up (especially when my body has a greater chance of deterring violence than the very ones we’re fighting for), and I’m still struggling to find my lane in this protest. Perhaps, though, this is what I can offer in the meantime. I’m excited to hold another class later this month (date TBD). I hope you’ll join me then.…http://kimberlypearl.co/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/cleo-wade-heart-talk-on-flexibility-boy-smells-x-kacey-musgrabes-slow-burn-candle.jpg
