FREE workshop for PoC led by the very excellent @maryc.parker

Everyone follow Kiona ASAP and use the website as a resource. Posted @withregram • @hownottotravellikeabasicbitch •69K!• Hi! My name is Kiona. One word like Beyoncé. And I post ass shots every 1,000 followers to show you: • what a scientist looks like • what a mathematician looks like • what a university professor looks like • what a bitch with 4 degrees looks like • what a doctor looks like • what an entrepreneur looks like • what a bitch who created her own lane looks like 💁🏻‍♀️ And it looks like this. Whatever your idea of professionalism is...throw it away! 💁🏻‍♀️ You know what else this looks like? Sold out educational tours to Cuba, not once, but twice, so that we added a third segment for 2020. 💁🏻‍♀️ Check stories NOW! To get a glimpse into the tours and to engage with previous tour members and their experiences! 💁🏻‍♀️ Our trips are 100% affordable, academic, and intentionally diverse. 💁🏻‍♀️ If you don’t know, I don’t run any ads on my feed or offer any courses or sell any merch. Nope! This is the ONE product I offer and it’s only because I’ve worked SO HARD to make it every bit a representation of everything I believe to be ethical travel and decolonized learning. 💁🏻‍♀️ So I hope you enjoy! And I’m excited to be cooking up MORE for 2021! Can’t wait to share. Tune in this week!

Action Hero. Dartington. Residency.

Problems are not a bad thing at all. I don’t think I want to live trapped in safe and certain theory. And I want my existing views to be challenged, to have my world opened up, and to have that difficulty of growing. Go big AND go home. Is going big part of my route home? I think so, if facing fears and dreaming big, and taking big risks and taking up space and loving loads is going big. Not sure about the concrete. But maybe I’ll take it as staying in my own shoes. #arttarot

Yesterday, Day 1 with Tanuja Amarasuriya. We talked watching and writing horror, comedy, authorship of story, anger, media exposure, Britain’s tendency to look Americawards, Buddhism, and the brief history of Sri Lanka. #YouCanBeMyWingman #artistsresidency

Perfect for me today: Posted @withregram • @elizabeth_gilbert_writer TEN ACTUAL THINGS THAT LOVE HAS SAID TO ME WHEN I WAS ALONE AND AFRAID (FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT NEED IT TODAY❤️) 1. What’s that, my baby? You feel like you’re failing at life? But may I ask: By whose rules? And by what deadline? 2. Please stop looking for proof that you are wrong and bad. Don’t be in such a hurry to disown yourself. And please, for the love of God, stop trying to transform. Just sit here with me for a moment, and let me love you exactly as you are. And maybe get yourself a nice big glass of water. That usually helps. 3. You don’t need to show compassion or patience to the world right now. Why would I force that on you, when you don’t actually feel it? You don’t even need to be grateful right now. I love you so much, I will never ask you to do anything you can’t do. Just sit here with me, and know that you are loved, and let that be all we do today. 4. Stop trying. Does that scare you? Do you still have trouble believing how loved you are—even when you are doing nothing, producing nothing, improving nothing, understanding nothing? Can you sit quietly with me for a moment and consider the possibilities? 5. Can you find the courage and curiosity to live one breath at a time? Can you breathe into this very moment, right now? Because “right now” is the only place I will ever be able to find you. So meet me halfway, dear one, by taking the next breath. 6. You are not crazy or broken, sweetheart, but you do have a mind that requires constant, tender, affectionate stewardship. Good thing you have me! 7. I see how you much you fear solitude sometimes, but trust me: This is your medicine right now. Also, I have a secret for you: You’re not alone. It’s actually not even possible. 8. If it helps, sweetheart, you can’t possibly do anything wrong. By which I mean—you can’t possibly do anything that will lose me. 9. I’m right here. I have always been right here. I will always be right here. I’ve got nothing but time for you. 10. Don’t worry about how everyone else is doing it. There is no “everyone else”. There is only you and me. And my name is Love. And so is yours. So let’s just sit quietl
