My name means honeybee. Meeting the Melipona bees in Quintana Roo felt less like travel and more like home. It inspired me to write a story about these stingless honeybees, Indigenous women, and a quieter kind of medicine. Sharing it here. 🐝🍯

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.
Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
I wanted to share some thoughts on what has been an incredibly difficult week.
