Last week wasn’t the best week. First, I was dealing with a lot of shoulder pain, and then after hearing the Roe versus Wade news, I just hit an emotional wall and decided to skip a week for #jesspicks.The Supreme Court decision is heartbreaking, and I’m terrified of what it means for this country’s future, specifically what it means for me as a black woman in this country. It is heavy, and I don’t think that feeling will fade soon. You may feel the same way. And if you need to rest, please rest. If you need to cry and scream, please give yourself the space to do that.And then show up in whatever way fits within your life. There are many ways to do that, and not everyone will do this the same way. You can protest. You can donate. You can run for office. You can vote. Contribute in a way that makes sense for you. But please, please protect yourself (tip: Paige Worthy) because I feel this situation will worsen before it gets better.For now, I am focusing on healing and prioritizing self-care and movement in my world so I can better show up for those I care about, including you. I’m not sure what that will mean for the newsletter, potentially a summer break coming here soon. But I will keep you posted.On to the picks!
