the scales of solidarity and safety when we wanna chill with our kinfolk, by Denise Shanté Brown, previous DJN Steering Committee member and now our Network’s Care Pod Lead. Denise Shanté’s latest newsletter explores senses and scales of solidarity by sharing lived experiences and guided practices intertwined with resonant selections of music, art, and poetry.
