Rest is important for overcoming exhaustion and resisting oppression.
Tricia Hersey, also known as the Nap Bishop, is the founder of The Nap Ministry and author of Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto. She writes ”My rest as a Black woman in America suffering from generational exhaustion and racial trauma always was a political refusal and social justice uprising within my body. I took to rest and naps and slowing down as a way to save my life, resist the systems telling me to do more and most importantly as a remembrance to my Ancestors who had their DreamSpace stolen from them."
