“I have already outgrown everything I have ever written.” ~ Lola Olufemi in Experiments in Imagining Otherwise
This resonates deeply with me and my writing, my speaking too.
There’s an Irish (my heritage) saying that goes, “how do I know what I think until I hear what I say?”
The idea of endlessly becoming with our contexts is central to my work. Nothing here is intended to be complete or correct.
filter by theme:
Anti-oppressive business practices including equitable pricing & inclusive cultures / How to pursue a satisfying life without bypassing the realities of the poly-crisis / Identifying & experimenting with making your contributions to the collective / Reclaiming the imagination for liveable, liberated futures / The complex, transcontextual nature of our lives/ Relational dynamics like conflict, care & collaboration/ Recovery from wounding experiences of neoliberal wellness & personal development spaces
Who Told You To Do That?
That yearning we feel to make a meaningful contribution to the collective, to drive change, to participate in community care and rhythmic reciprocity… what’s making us hold it at arm’s length?
Absolutely no prizes for guessing it’s… systemic factors. Inside Capitalism, if you’re gonna do something, you’d better do it in a way that’s correct & complete. Especially if what you’re doing is outside of what’s socially normal- psychological risk shoots up here, increasing threats to an already fragile sense of belonging.
