About solenne °❀.ೃ࿔*

dear one, welcome. what a gift it is to be here with you

This publication is an incomplete yet ever-expansive ode to the ancestral truths held in our bodies and the land. As a mostly bedbound, eldest daughter of color who developed severe myalgic encephalomyelitis and fibromyalgia due to repeated trauma, I often write about collective liberation, accountability, the connection between neglect, stress, trauma —> racegenderdisability, and the body as an archive informed by my particular positionality1 in its wider global context.

My praxis is rooted in abolitionism, black feminist thought, and revolutionary love, with a commitment to uplifting and citing the wisdom embodied by my black and brown comrades. This is my altar, my garden, and my protest — a vessel I hope can carry both of us.

“for there are no new ideas.
