What do you want to see? Share some positive vibes in the comments 👇🏽. Pa’delante. ✊🏽 Food sovereignty takes Work—but it also takes access to land and luxury of time. It takes decolonizing the way we perceive worthwhile use of land. It takes Will. It takes. It takes love for seeds. Hate for multinational corporations. Abhorrence for Monsanto. It takes knowledge of what to do with food. It takes forgiving yourself for the whitewashed misconception that cooking equals submissiveness, surrendering agency and defaulting to domesticity. It is all genders being part of it. It is understanding that when a community can sustain itself with their own foods...they have effectively knocked down a pillar of white supremacy. It takes understanding seeds carry Spirit. It means allowing our seed relatives to serve as portals to Sacred realms. It means returning to the land. It means becoming literate in Earth language(s). // Song: Martyrs (feat. Mary Dann) in Balance album by @nataanii_means "Choco" is short for 'chocolate,' and it is an apodo/nickname used by mestiza/os/x to separate (other) people with Brown and Black skin. Dark skin is widely seen as inferior, and choco is a way to remind people they are "failures" for having dark skin in a whitewashed society that prefers white or light skin tones instead of darker skin tones. This is an example of colorism. In the name of radical self-love, this needs to stop. 💆🏽‍♀️ Protect your energy. Honor the sacred. Walk with the ancestors.
