When I first started what would become “Deep Condition” in 2014, I was in a lot of pain. But nestled in that pain, I found my purpose. Who knew that alchemy would become a strength of mine? Thanks to #Summit21 for forcing me to reflect on what I’ve accomplished this weekend. I’m a published author + that alone is more than enough to be proud of.

What are you willing to expose to get free? •

It’s very easy to let shame dictate our lives. It keeps us from experiencing the depths of Gods heart for us and holds us back from freedom. But what if we laid down our pride and realized wholeness is never suppose to be in our own strength. What if we choose to walk in the light no matter what it costs us, knowing we are going to be met with His love and kindness every time. If you’re feeling the weight of shame or distant from God today, I want to remind you how much He’s for you. He’s never turned His back on you, and He won’t start now. ✊♥️

Episode 4: Writing As An Art of Resistance w/ Nicole Capó Martínez and Natalie Hopkinson
Women of color have a unique presence in Washington, D.C.'s cultural landscape as creators of though-provoking nonfiction, soul-stirring poetry, and leaders of innovative spaces like @DuendeDistrict. This group of literary purveyors includes model, writer and artist Nicole Capó Martínez (@nicole.capo) of Duende District and Natalie Hopkinson, Ph.D. (@thenathop), an award-winning essayist, critical-cultural scholar and asst. professor in the doctoral program in Howard University’s Department of Communication, Culture and Media Studies.
In this episode of @WRLFTL, Nicole and Natalie share their thoughts on writing as an art of resistance, what inspires their work, and how outlets like Duende District create opportunities for writers of color to reach a wider audience and use their pen for exploration and change.
