Some books ask you to think differently. This one asks you to feel differently.
Waking Up Alone by Nicole Wordlaw is not a research text. It's not theory. It's a prayer.

Three days. Three Black men. Three continents.
One question underneath all of it:
Can a journey open new possibilities for Blackness?
I'll be there with Bayo and director Sienna McLean-LoGreco.

Liberation is not a costume you put on for the moment.
Proximity to the struggle does not give you a pass.
Words matter. History matters. Context matters.

Donโt get fooled by the marketing.
An end to hostilities is not the same thing as liberation.
Donโt confuse noise with transformation.
Tend to what lives in your own body.

South Africa was the right place for this work. ๐โ๐พ
Apartheid in South Africa was one expression. Enslavement and Black codes in the U.S. were another. Colonization across the globe follows the same pattern. Different locations. Same architecture.

Systems built on domination live first in the body.
White body supremacy is conditioning, reflex, nervous systems under threat.
Change must happen where the damage lives.
The Quaking of America is a field guide for somatic liberation.
Read it. Practice it. Share it.

Itโs been tough. Itโs going to get tougher.
If youโre living in a visibly melanated body in this country and feeling it in your nervous system, youโre not imagining it. Youโre not crazy.

From my time in South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Black people, you are not crazy. What you feel is real. You are beautiful, and you are not defective.
This closing moment from my Weekend Breakfast conversation still holds true.

In South Africa I spoke about how trauma doesnโt just live in memory. It lives in the body.
Somatic abolitionism means tending to the body so we can break the pattern for the generations that follow.
