Make no mistake. Your place is in the revolution. And the moment you decide to channel your anger into hope, and turn hope into action, you change the world forever. You may think you're just one person. But you are not alone. Millions of people are just as angry as you. Their rage and yours comes from a place of deep love. And a place of deep compassion. Never forget: Your place is in the revolution.

"Asphodel taught me that the Gods
might be eternal but mortals
have the very best stories."

- Nikita Gill, from "Hekate"

And those who struggle against the whims of fate have better stories than those who've been favored by gods and kings.

“because you never agreed
to live in a burning home
while the people who should care
pretend the fire doesn’t exist.”

For When You Need Validation For Your Angry by Nikita Gill
You are angry and anxious because you never agreed to live in a burning home while the people who should care pretend the fire doesn't exist. Distress is a valid emotional response to injustice. - Nikita Gill

Rage comes from love—love for people, for justice, for a world that refuses cruelty as policy.

#ReneeNicoleGood should be alive.

Her death demands remembrance, accountability, and refusal to look away.

A memorial-style digital image honoring Renee Nicole Good. She stands at the beach during sunset, wearing a deep red off-the-shoulder dress, with waves and warm light behind her. To the left of her body, a poem by Nikita Gill is displayed in black serif text about rage, love, hope, and justice. Below, bold text reads: “Renee Nicole Good. U.S. citizen executed by ICE agent. January 7, 2026.” Her face is unobstructed, and the overall tone is solemn and reverent.

Tell Your Daughters by Nikita Gill
Tell your daughters how you love your body. Tell them how they must love theirs. Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves— from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs, whether there is a little of them or a lot, whether freckles cover their face or not, whether their curves are plentiful or slim, whether their hair is thick, curly, straight, long or short. Tell them how they inherited their ancestors, souls in their smiles, that their eyes carry countries that breathed life into history, that the swing of their hips does not determine their destiny. Tell them never to listen when bodies are critiqued. Tell them every woman’s body is beautiful because every woman’s soul is unique.

"There is no difference between Gods and monsters, child. Each in their own way wields their power to terrorize."

"I have never had a place.
What do you think it is
that gives me my courage?"
- @nikitagill.bsky.social, from "Hekate"

I think of this when I see Trump's thugs cowering beneath body armor as they try to kidnap immigrants and refugees.

Your Strength by Nikita Gill
You have been praying so long for the strength to outlive the pain they inflicted on you, that you have forgotten - you are already strong. That heart of yours was crafted from the same clay as that of Achilles, last true warrior on the sands of Troy, fighting a war that was years long. Do you think Achilles wept over the fates of the lesser warriors who tried and failed to slaughter him? Do you think you should lose sleep over the lesser people who tried to drown you in sorrow and hoped you couldn't swim? Listen to your heart, my brave soldier. You have seen crueller battlefields than this. If you were so resilient through them, then you know in your heart, you will survive this.

Hope sits in the trenches, the last one standing, its teeth cracked, its knuckles bruised, its body broken; but its eyes are still gleaming with the light of a million lamps. Its heart is still beating because even here, even now, it knows that a better world is worth fighting for. - Nikita Gill

You can walk around pretending you aren't necessary but the universe is a poet. And one day the universe decided that it would sit down and write you alive, empty stardust into your veins and make you exist. No wonder you are holding both a storm and a calm sea inside that body of yours - and on days the world overwhelms you, you think of yourself as more mess less miracle. It is easy to forget sometimes. That you are a living, breathing piece of poetry written to defy all cosmic odds.

How to Build A Daughter by Nikita Gill
How to Build A Daughter Do not teach her shame. Instead teach her that the sun on her skin is all she must carry. Do not name her burden. Instead tell her she is moonlight, easy to bear, more than enough. Do not let her hate her own body. Teach her how her sinews and bones provide her with safe harbour. And when the grief of this world threatens all you have taught her, tell her it is the world that must change instead of demanding that she must change herself. - Nikita Gill

My mother once told me that a healed woman who rejects shame is seen as defiant and terrifying by a world that wants her to sacrifice everything she could be on the altar of men. May we all become that defiant woman. May our daughters never have to sacrifice themselves ever again. - Nikita Gill

Hekate by Nikita Gill

Hekate is finally having her moment!
I just got this beauty, and I can’t wait to dive in.

I’ve loved Hekate since I read Macbeth back in HS. I’ve been greatly influenced by her in my own writing.

My Greek myth-loving, witchy little heart might burst. 🖤
