I honor you

May those yet to come be blessed by our healing

- from Re-Membering Purpose, 2023

So grateful for the love for Re-Membering Purpose.

My sister-friend-colleague Jacqui Patterson put me in touch with the good folks at Red Emma's in Baltimore AND interviewed me. AND provided a quote for the back of the book.

Family showed up - those who i've known, worked with and met that evening. What a beautiful evening!

Re-Membering Purpose — Medew Nefer Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is?

Black Earth Podcast — Medew Nefer Several months ago, Marion Osieyo reached out to me with an invitation to discuss spirituality and the environment for her new podcast, Black Earth. Only minutes into the conversation i knew that at the other end of the zoom space was a brilliant, curious, daughter of the earth with a deep passion

I had a wonderful time over the weekend talking about purpose with the good folks in the Green Leadership Trust's Cecil Corbin Marks Vanguard Leadership program fellows program in Washington, DC.

This fireside chat was led by my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Adrienne Hollis, who walked us through the book by asking soulful questions about themes that seemed to be on people's minds: What do you mean when you write that sometimes hope is hard to come by? Why THIS book, why NOW? And so much more. (Admittedly, these are the only questions i recall as i am writing this).

During the conversation and as i reflected more on it, i deeply appreciated the space that was created for those working on environmental and climate justice to see themselves in this work. I noticed flickers in folks eyes in moments of resonance.

More pictures will come, once they've been processed.
