@imani I think about local shouting circles every week with drumming and dance where during the week we collaboratively write a song across the community about how we're feeling and what we want to bring into the world, and then on Saturday we dance and shout together. We can visit adjoining circles and riff off each other's songs and dances.

I also think about community media-making that's not gatekept or centralized onto youtube. Low-budget films and shows we swap between communities

@imani I think about high-tech crowd-sourced ways to monitor ICE and the cops. Sabotage systems in ways so subtle that it doesn't look like anything was done intentionally. Ways to spring people from bondage.

I get really excited when I think about the potential of de-colonial black mental health theory and practice. I think of skillful and effective trauma-healing with community support that doesn't gaslight or victim-blame by ignoring systemic causes.
