Across the Ocean and Home Again

GOODBODYFEEL is home because they encourage you to come home to yourself - version of you who was told to shrink by white supremacy, by capitalism, by homophobia, by the patriarchy, by all of the systems that stay alive by draining us all of the things that make us, US! At GOODBODYFEEL, you can leave all the systems at the door, and be the fiercest, loudest, biggest, Blackest version of you.

In Jamaica, there is an old proverb - “who cyaah hear muss feel” (who can’t hear, must feel). Essentially, it means that I can tell you all these things, but you’re probably going to want to see (read: feel) for yourself. I get it.

This is why I am inviting you, my fellow Black movers, to join us for 12 free classes this month.

Black History Month aside, February is often the coldest and one of the most emotionally taxing months for Black people (as white-owned organizations scramble to throw last minute workshops together to prove that they’re “doing the work”). As we come up on the twelfth month of this pandemic, I want to ensure that we are doing whatever we can to encourage Black people in particular to take care as we continue to move through this wild, exhausting, challenging time. Robin taught me that the body is political. In order to prepare for the revolution, we need to feel connected to our minds, our spirits, and our bodies. I hope that you can carve out some time for self-care so that you have the strength to carry on.
