Welcome to Day 24 of 100 Days of Community! Today, we’re moving from learning to living—because understanding a concept means nothing if we aren’t applying it in real-time.
We’ve all met that person who has read every book on anti-racism, attended every workshop, and can recite all the right words—but when it’s time to act? Silence. Liberation is not a checklist. It’s not about looking “informed” or appearing “woke.” It’s about embodiment.
And let’s be real—praxis requires courage and vulnerability. It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable. It asks us to show up in ways that demand action, not just awareness. Today, we talked about what that looks like in real life.
Lessons & Community Input
Today’s discussion broke down three major truths about praxis and showing up authentically:
✅ Praxis is the bridge between knowledge and action. You can’t just collect information—you have to use it.
✅ Authenticity requires vulnerability. It means admitting mistakes, being open to feedback, and choosing integrity over image.
✅ Practice is ongoing and evolving. Liberation work isn’t static—it’s an ever-growing process of learning, unlearning, and adapting.
We also talked about how capitalism fuels performative allyship—where people buy all the right books, take all the courses, and talk a big game without ever baking the damn cake. (Yep, we used cake as a metaphor, because who doesn’t love cake?)
Want to take this deeper? Let’s move beyond theory.
Too many people stay stuck in the learning phase because it feels safe. But liberation demands movement.
🔥 Are you stuck in a cycle of collecting knowledge without applying it?
🔥 Do you worry about getting it “wrong” more than you focus on just doing the work?
🔥 How do you navigate discomfort when theory meets real-world application?
