"For all those reasons, it was a major blow. But since then, I have allowed myself time to breathe. There's a particular kind of calmness in the eye of the storm. There's a particular kind of calmness when you center yourself back into your own body. I had to recenter myself and be grounded on who I am and what I believe. I believe that love will win."
"I am doing remarkably well in this moment, considering the circumstances. "Some of our greatest moments of change in this country came out of the most painful moments of political history.I'm in that space right now." I'm leaning into gratefulness. The election result was a really big blow-for a variety of reasons. One: being a Black person. Two: being a woman. Three: being a human rights activist. For all those reasons, it was a major blow"
LaTosha Brown describes processing the 2024 election as a major blow that affected her as a Black woman and human rights activist. She allowed herself time to breathe, recenter, and find calmness in the eye of the storm by grounding in her body and beliefs. She expresses gratitude, confidence in her identity and contributions, and faith that love will prevail. Brown draws strength from her grandmother Nellie, born in 1910, calling her a spiritual maven and a source of resilience. She emphasizes purpose and clarity about who she is even amid uncertainty about next steps.
