Infected by Patriarchy

Alica Garza’s book, “The Purpose of Power” will be released tomorrow. She is one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement. 

It is striking that just days before her book will be published, the excerpt that The Guardian chose to run is an excerpt on patriarchy. 

Read it here:

‘Every movement I’ve been in has been infected by patriarchy’

It is short. And it invites deep self-reflection.

Alicia’s is one of those prophetic voices of our day. She is also more than her words. She brings a presence and a transmission that is medicine to our movements. It is a powerful feminine energy.

She reminds us that:  “We bring the things that shape us, consciously and unconsciously, everywhere we go.” For us that is patriarchy.

And it is why we are doing the work of making our masculinity conscious instead of toxic.

It is good to be in community with you.
