Dawn-Lyen Gardner Instagram – Tricia Hersey, founder of @TheNapMinistry, is one of my favorite revolutionary writers and dreamers. Her message: “Rest is critical because it’s counterintuitive and counter-narrative to see slowing down, napping and rest as a key to our movement for Black liberation. But it really is so important because rest disrupts and pushes back and allows space for healing, for invention, for us to be more human.” She founded The Nap Ministry in 2016 and in addition to having Instagram and Twitter accounts that continue to share this message, she offers collective napping experiences and workshops and raises awareness of the racial sleep gap. Go give her a follow if you haven’t yet, and then go take a nap ☺️ #BlackRestIsPower Image 1 & 3 by @calm Image 2 by @thenapministry @charliewattphoto Image 4 by @thenapministry
