First, A Sacred Thank You
You’ve made it to Day 89.
We’re almost 90 days into a collective act of showing up, reflecting, witnessing, and becoming—and today, we paused to name the role that hope plays in that becoming. Not as a cute caption or a hollow chant, but as a revolutionary force. As a practice of presence. As a form of resistance.
Whether you’ve been with me since Day 1 or joined just last week—thank you. This work is built on the rhythm of community. Your presence helps shape the path.
Now Let’s Talk About What Hope Is Not
Hope is not a mood.
It’s not delusion.
And it is definitely not passive.
Hope isn’t about ignoring reality or spiritually bypassing pain.
Hope is an act of defiance.
A refusal to let despair take the wheel.
Today, on Day 89, we unpacked what it means to live a hope-filled life without checking your rage, your grief, or your honesty at the door.
We named that hope isn’t about “good vibes only.” It’s about holding the vision when the world tells you to give up.And not just holding it—but rooting it into action.

We cracked this wide open today.
In this moment, I reflected on watching Sinners and how it wrecked me in the best way. Because witnessing truth—flawed, honest, still-standing truth—reminded me that hope isn’t performance. It’s a pattern. A rhythm. A choice to stay in relationship with the possible even when it’s messy.
This is where we stop romanticizing suffering as a virtue and start choosing hope as a strategy.
In this moment, I offered a reframe we all needed.
So often, hope is marketed as quiet endurance—something we carry privately, something we’re supposed to keep no matter what’s happening. But real, revolutionary hope? It doesn't just survive hardship—it organizes through it.
Because when we see people—flawed, healing, whole, and still reaching toward each other—we remember that liberation doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from perseverance.
This is about:
Why we must feel the grief and hold the vision
How hope without community becomes collapse
The difference between being hopeful and being rooted
Because the truth is: despair numbs.
Hope roots.
And we’re building something that needs roots, not just reaction.
Share this with your people and ask:
What does long-standing hope look like in your life?
What helps you stay rooted—even when things feel hard to hold?
What We’re Learning Today
Hope is a Revolutionary Practice
Supremacy culture wants you to believe that despair is inevitable. But hope disrupts the narrative. Hope dares to imagine—and then create—a future outside of white supremacist imagination.
Hope is Sustained in Collective Action
Hope cannot live in isolation. It grows when we witness each other, build together, and celebrate even the smallest shifts in the system.
Hope Must Be Grounded in Tangible Action
We’re not just dreaming. We’re designing. We’re organizing. We’re passing the baton. Hope without movement is a meme. Hope in motion is liberation.
