23 | Love Studies + Black Feminism: my study of self
Manage episode 402156701 series 3554324
Welcoming in Season II of Threadings. Notes on my the orbit of my personhood.
An essay once titled, “how do I love myself?” (but I didn’t know what I meant by “love,” so first i sound it out)
Themes of the essay:
love is the feeling that compels you to action and the action itself. Poetry is the thesis of my life and practicing it is an act of love. Black feminism and love studies are, in many ways, the same discipline. I am just as much of the earth as the mountains are.
