In a world that treats people as productivity units, choosing care is revolutionary.
Care is not weakness. It is not an afterthought.
It is a strategy.
It is a foundation.
It is a liberatory tool that challenges supremacy, capitalism, and the myth of individualism at their core.
Today, we’re not just talking about bubble baths and wellness.
We’re talking about care as policy.
Care as structure.
Care as a system that holds people in their full humanity.
Let this land:
Care isn’t something you give when you have extra. It’s the baseline.
And when we build from care, we build systems that can actually hold us.

“Care is a form of power. Supremacy culture demands performance. But we are reclaiming our humanity.”
In this clip, I reflect on how the world teaches us to grind, produce, and perform even through illness, pain, and burnout. But when we choose to lead with care—like checking on someone, adjusting our expectations, or just showing up without needing performance—we shift power.
Because care disrupts supremacy’s logic.
It says: You’re still worthy when you’re not producing. You’re still sacred when you’re not performing.
That’s what I felt from y’all this week when you gave me space to rest.
That’s what we’re building together.
Ask yourself:
Where can you shift from performance to presence? From expectation to care?
Three Key Takeaways
1️⃣ Care is a form of power.
Supremacy dismisses care as softness. But care reconnects us to humanity, interrupts grind culture, and creates space for real transformation.
When we value people over production—we reclaim power.
2️⃣ Care is a collective responsibility.
If care falls on one person, it becomes a burden. Shared care—like when Erin and Kieran stepped in while you were sick—is not just supportive, it’s sustainable.
We all carry something, so no one has to carry everything.
3️⃣ Care must be embedded in systems.
Care can’t just be offered when someone burns out. It has to be built in. That means policies that respect boundaries, paid mental health days, and schools that let parents be in the classroom as support.
Care should be a design principle, not an afterthought.
