Yaya DaCosta Instagram – (continued from last post)

In an attempt to answer this, I’m reminded of something director @ayizejamaeverett said last week at a screening of his brilliant documentary @atableofourownofficial. When discussing whiteness in healing spaces, he said, “You don’t start out kicking the neighbor’s dog. You start out kicking your own dog. So when you look at the abuse that happened to other peoples, to the land, to women… look at what happened to European women elders who knew the land, who knew about the psyche, who had oral traditions that were passed down for thousands of years. What did they do to them? They burned them. They burned women. Do you understand the pathos that takes? Of course, if you’ll do that, you’ll go to any other part of the world and do the same thing. Now, you have an opportunity to say “let’s go back there. Let’s reclaim those witches”. Yes, there are generational curses, but there is also generational strength, generational compassion, generational growth. These are all things that can be accessed.”
I’m also reminded of @empresskarenrose speaking a couple of days ago about the indigenous understanding of “soul loss”, and the ancient belief that what is broken can be healed.

I wonder then: how can the European diaspora heal ancestral trauma and retrieve the parts of their souls that had to take flight in order for such atrocities to be committed? How can they repair the harm done to themselves and to the rest of the planet? 
I believe it starts with rendering reparations, returning land, restoring control of resources, recognizing responsibility, reimagining their place in a world of racial equity, listening to those melanated distant cousins whose links to indigeneity remain strong, and deep, consistent prayer for collective liberation on the planet.

Channeled Message:
It is time for cloaks of compassion, generosity, duty, repentance…
For tapping into the truth of who we are
without the delusions of superiority passed down from those who thought only of themselves.
We return. We return. We return
to our humanity.

Yaya DaCosta Instagram – On this International Women’s Day, I’m giving thanks for the woman I’m becoming…
The one who thrives in sisterhood.
The one who consumes consciously.
The one who supports sustainability.
The one whose integrity is infused in every aspect of her life and in every piece in her closet.
.
I was introduced to this sustainable fashion brand @y_e_s_a_e_t and fell in love.
The empowering membership community @TheWIESuite is partnering with them on this one of a kind T-shirt, to celebrate the intersection of #BlackHistoryMonth and #womenshistorymonth 
.
The shirt features the Ghanaian adinkra symbol “ese ne tekrema”, signifying interdependence and friendship.
.
10% of proceeds go to @GirlBeHeard, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that builds young leaders, activists and changemakers.
.
More of this!
Happy International Women’s Day, my people 🥳
