“Race is an evolving idea that was created to legitimize racial inequality and protect white advantage”. -robin diangelo

What’s on your coffee table? This is a book that I’ve been working with for awhile now, I have it on audio too.
This work is important.
It’s important to me because because I’m a white person who is working to make change especially with the @communitydoulaconnection it is necessary that I check in with myself daily, reflect on my white privilege, and see what I can do differently. “The racial status quo is comfortable for white people, and we will not move forward in race relations if we remain comfortable.” -robin diangelo

If you don’t know her work, I suggest that you get to know it. She has some great talks to watch.

Medicinal chai. This has been one of my favourite wellness go-to’s over the winter and into this spring. I allow a big pot to warm on the wood stove all week, bring careful not to boil it. You could do it in a crock pot.
My tea base is usually honey bush. I use a large quantity of ginger and turmeric, and I usually add Chaga. And then I use a gentle amount of herbal additions that feel right for the week, such as : ashwaganda, dandelion root, astragulus, echinacea etc.
And then of course the chai spices: cinnamon, star anis, black pepper corns, fennel, clove (just a touch), cardamom! #stayinhomeandhealthy #onecovidfreeday #herbalmedicine
