I’m an elder millennial.

My digital footprint has hopped across platforms with my peers too many times (remember MySpace?). In 2025, I deleted all my longstanding social media accounts. I needed a break from the abusive algorithms of big tech.

For years, I’ve worked in the background.

Mostly, being back stage is helpful in facilitating the quiet transformations that make The Work of Birthing New Worlds more possible — personally, organizationally, systemically.

I’ve been grappling with living my values in private, and writing writing writing to work out the dysfunction & grief of it all (personally, organizationally, culturally… there is so much to unlearn to move coherently).

In that time, I’ve published things that I’m proud of: a book chapter, an exhibition text, a narrative poem. And.

It’s time to start learning in public again.

I’m working this year to develop work for readers — on a fresh new Substack, in growing writing community, and through collaborative projects that center storytelling as social alchemy.

“Is this the darkness of the tomb, or of the womb? I don’t know. All I know is that the only way we will endure is if each of us shows up to the labor…

Love is a form of sweet labor—a choice we make over and over again. If love is sweet labor, love can be taught, modeled, and practiced.

This labor engages all our emotions. Joy is the gift of love. Grief is the price of love. Anger protects that which is loved. And when we think we have reached our limit, wonder is the act that returns us to love.

‘Revolutionary love’ is the choice to enter into wonder and labor for others, for our opponents, and for ourselves in order to transform the world around us. It is an orientation to life that is personal and political and rooted in joy.”

Valerie Kaur, Know No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love (pp. xv-xvi)
