Audre Lorde Tapestries

Description: since ending my marriage and moving to Buffalo, I have been thinking a lot about how good things cannot spark and grow in isolation. How we need community in order to heal, to learn, to liberate ourselves. Our communities are made up of our neighbors, our chosen family, our friends, the people who support us and who we support. ⁠ I'm so grateful for the fab feminist community, the members of which have supported me since even before starting this business. I'm grateful for all the loving people who have been with me on this healing journey. And, I am grateful for my new family. ⁠ ⁠ "Without community there is no liberation." - Audre Lorde

Description: I am holding onto the words of Audre Lorde to remind me that there is no one right way to move through this moment in time. We each have unique gifts, abilities and experiences we are bringing to the resistance of fascism, and also of antipathy. The most important thing, I think, is that we are each investing in the ways we can connect with one another and take care of one another. It happens in lots of little, daily steps. We fight back.
