Me savoring my morning break fast cup of green tea, sweetened with raw honey and vanilla coconut milk. As I pray and meditate on the natives who lost their lives and morn a great heritage that was almost completely eradicated through the genocide masked as a festive gathering, I'm gearing up for a busy holiday shift for myself and our crew, asking that the universe and great mother/ father and the ancestors keep us safe as we serve the city. Honor to my personal chief, my husband Amond, a direct descendant of the Choctaw nation, word to my Cherokee homie- 'chop' and to my brother Kalonji - the grandson of Sam Pace; peace to the American Indian Movement for the work they put in- salute Leonard Peltier, Sitting Bull, the Nez Perce, those who died on the Trail of Tears- and the rest of the tribes who didn't and still don't take no shit. Today I fast in your honor. #DiaryOfAVeganFirefighter
