“I think social justice is both a vision and a hope for the future, and then also a space that we can tap into with the things that are within our control, like in the way we spend our time and energy and move our body and whatnot. And I think it means having control over my own DreamSpace, and having all of my needs met, and then having so much, like, capacity for, like, rest that I can really tap into my imagination and just create things, and be in reciprocity with the earth and, like, with all my relationships around me.”
