"My face becomes a beach." 💙

Thank you for sharing what felt like such an intentional & intimate gathering on your publication. So many things came to mind when reading this. "Beauty is a method" by Christina Sharpe kept ringing in my ear. I especially love your citation of Anna J. Cooper who believed in the importance of not separating Black Women's bodies from the theory we produce. Lastly, "land as source material" are words that I will continue let linger within my own personal loophole of retreat. Thank you so much for your words that serves as a testament to all that you witnessed in North Carolina ✨.
