<strong> I'm really growing tired of all these talks, infographics, news stories, etc. about self care.</strong> You know the truth of the matter?<strong> Self care only goes so far when you're living in a global pandemic</strong>. When<strong> half a million Americans have died.</strong> When<strong> half the country thinks the virus is a "hoax" and that a vaccine will implant a microchip or 5G in them</strong>. Self care doesn't address our<strong> emotional fatigue</strong>. Self care can't touch the<strong> trauma</strong> our bodies are enduring and continuing to process. Self care can't undo the<strong> assault we continue to witness on the rights and freedoms of SO many marginalized groups.</strong> Self care is part of the equation, but it ain't the end all be all.
