Some days healing is rest.
Some days it’s rage.
Let it be messy. Let it be yours.

Feeling deeply is not something to be ashamed of.
It means you’re awake. It means you’re connected.
And we need more of that.

You don’t need to twist yourself into something smaller just to fit in.
You were already whole. Already worthy. Already enough.

You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to step back.
Burnout isn’t proof of passion—it’s proof of a broken system.

The problem isn’t how people think.
It’s how systems refuse to adapt.

Inclusion isn’t extra. It’s essential.
Let’s build spaces that work for everyone. 🧠✨

You’ll have days where you fall apart. That doesn’t mean you’re back at zero.
Progress is messy.
But it’s still progress.

When you stop apologizing for who you are,
you give everyone around you permission to do the same.
Be the revolution.

There is no version of you that is more lovable than the one right now.
You do not have to shrink to be loved.

Sadness isn’t a flaw.
Anxiety isn’t failure.
Your emotions are trying to tell you something. Listen.

There is no timeline for healing.
There is no deadline for becoming.
Being here is enough.

You do not have to earn your rest.
You do not have to prove your exhaustion.
You are allowed to stop.

You woke up today with breath in your body.
That is resistance. That is worth celebrating.
Your story isn’t over.

Capitalism says grind.
Your body says rest.
Your spirit says reconnect.
Only one of those deserves your loyalty.

Policies may fail us. Institutions may forget us.
But we don’t forget each other.
Care networks. Chosen families. Real protection.
We’ve got us.

Your story is valid.
Even if no one clapped.
Even if they called you “too much.”
Even if it made them uncomfortable.

They told us to be quiet, behave, blend in.
We decided to be real.
Visibility is protest. Joy is protest.

Imagine a world where no one had to “come out” because love was just love.
Keep dreaming it. Keep building it.

“God won’t love you if…”
is the biggest lie ever told in His name.
I wrote Church for All to dismantle that lie with truth, tenderness, and fire.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong.

This book is for you.

Tradition doesn’t excuse injustice.
Just because it’s always been that way doesn’t mean it should stay that way.
We get to build new systems rooted in equity.

Jesus flipped tables.
He broke rules.
He centered the poor and outcast.
If that makes you uncomfortable, good.
My book Church for All might too.
But sometimes, disruption is the holiest thing we can do.

If your feminism isn’t intersectional,
If your pride isn’t inclusive,
If your allyship disappears when it’s inconvenient—
You’re doing it wrong.

They don’t actually want peace.

Healing isn’t linear.
Progress isn’t perfect.
But showing up for yourself every day? That’s power.

The future isn’t neutral.
It’s queer.
It’s abolitionist.
It’s community-led.
It’s built by those who were never meant to survive.
