As a brown Indigenous woman and first generation student, I feel that moments of stillness while drinking a warm cup of tea is an act of resistance and self-preservation. Powerful tea messages such as this one, remind me that I am worthy of rest, nourishment, and joy, and that I am much more than my academic productivity. In being gentle with myself, I feel closer to Sonya Renee Taylor’s cosmovision of “a radical self-love world is a world free from the systems of oppression that make it difficult and sometimes deadly to live in our bodies.”
