Inspired by a quote from Audre Lorde "Caring for myself is not self indulgence..."

  • Summary

  • Episode 1: Self-Care as a Political Act: Conversations on Resilience and Activism

    Liminal Writing Season 4 begins with a session inspired by a quote from American activist and poet, Audre Lorde: 'Caring for myself is not self indulgence. It is self preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.'

    This prompt leads to a discussion on the challenges of self-care, the impact of recent political events in the US, how affects the LGBT communities, and in particular the impact on trans folks.

    Ces and Lee also reminisce about their community activism in the Philippines, and sing a few lines from a couple of protest songs from their youth. Their conversation ends with unwavering eyes on hope, the power of unity, song, and resilience in the fight for equality and justice.
