Sustainable BIPOC Resistance - Sunday Sessions continues: bit.ly/SustainableBIPOCResistancebit.ly/BIPOCSignupReasons#KrystalKavitaJagoo#IntersectionalEquityInsights#SustainableBIPOCResistance

1/4: Black text against a yellow background states: Last Saturday, after being too physically unwell to commute to attend Friday's chiropractic adjustment, I made the difficult decision to cancel Sustainable BIPOC Resistance - Sunday Sessions for the 1st time (in a desperate attempt at feeling okay enough to commute to attend Monday's chiropractic adjustment to be able to start a new contract with less pain to manage!), which is exactly what I would advocate for other BIPOC disabled folx: Under that, is a multi-coloured art work, which features 13 circles in the fruit of life formation. These circles contain the following text: Sustainable BIPOC Resistance Disability Justice Forgiveness of Self Abolition Love Hope Mutual Aid Rest Art Creation Spirituality Working through Grief Anger as a Valid Response to Racism Futuristic Possibilities
2/4: Black text against a yellow background states: Despite knowing I was honouring my access needs (exactly as I encourage participants to do in every session! 👀), I struggled with guilt over having to make that choice (given how I usually push through pain to keep my word! 🙈), but this flare-up of disability-related challenges (exactly the language I used when advocating for students registered with Accessibility Services at the University of Toronto from 2018 to 2021! 🤡) was completely unavoidable! 💔💔💔 Thankfully, since then, I have made it to see my chiropractor, but I was still in a bit of an existential crisis over posting that these PWYC Sustainable BIPOC Resistance - Sunday Sessions would run until the end of 2024, and only 5 weeks in, I had failed to do that! In what feels like divine timing, a past participant and fellow brown disabled woman reached out almost 2 months following my last message to her, after she insisted on sponsoring a couple PWYC spots! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
3/4: Black text against a yellow background states: Her email was entitled "Paying It Forward," and said this: Below, an email screenshot states this: Hello Krystal, I wanted to reach out and let you know how much your BIPOC only writing series through multiple renditions and forms has helped me unpack in my growth of unlearning and relearning. The sessions you facilitate are one of the only spaces where I don't feel shame or guilt for not showing up. The sessions you facilitate are one of the only spaces that allow me to lift some of the blockage to unpack layers around my own identity and recognize how exhausted I am navigating these systems. The sessions you facilitate are one of the only spaces where I feel safer to express some of my suppressed grief. I want to pay it forward with a small contribution of $100 to someone else and support cross-movement solidarity building during these challenging times. Thank you for continuously creating space and holding us all in these...
4/4: Black text against a yellow background states: If you have thought about joining us for Sustainable BIPOC Resistance - Sunday Sessions, I will do my best to continue to offer these until the end of the year, while also working on better honouring my own access needs given how crucial that is for the sustainability of Disability Justice work since fat brown queer disabled immigrant women like myself are deemed disposable by society! 🫶🏽 bit.ly/SustainableBIPOCResistance Below that, is a scannable QR code.

3/4: Against a black background, a screenshot from my 1st LURNN newsletter post is seen. It shows a chart, which is described below, as follows: A chart with a graph is seen. It is titled, "My Will to Live vs. My Will to Fight Oppression Over a Decade." The will to live line steadily decreases from 99 in 2014 to 11 in 2024 in blue, while the will to fight oppression line steadily increases from 33 in 2014 to 99 in 2024 in red, as detailed by a legend at the top. This hermit crab essay was an attempt to convey to my mathematician father why I struggle so much in the aftermath of workplace trauma, given his epic disbelief when I repeatedlly failed to convey my point using only words.
