Humility = Freedom

Hi y'all, 

I’ve been thinking a lot about humility and the freedom that comes with it:  pausing, listening, reading and learning.

What a relief to not have to cling to the White habit of striving for “expert” status. I made a commitment to resting more in 2020, and for me, this means curling up with a book.  In this moment, I am grateful to BIPOC and LGBTQ teachers and writers, and am finally making a dent in those articles and books that have been piling up on my bedside table.

Over the next year, I will be focused on deepening my learning about the ways in which tech companies and platforms reinforce, perpetuate and uphold racism, sexism and other forms of bias and oppression.  I look forward to sharing what I learn.  

Speaking of rest: are you yearning for some too?

If you are like me, you have spent a LOT of time on your screens over the past few weeks.  This global pandemic still has us spinning and we are in the midst of a transformative cultural uprising led by Black Lives Matter.

We can’t look away, nor should we.

But it’s also time for some respite from the constant flow of information and to step away from our screens to integrate new information.  

My first cohort of my Screen Time Lifeline group was a truly joyful experience and I am starting the second cohort on July 5.  

I was skeptical about building community on Zoom, but with only 6 people and plenty of space for everyone to participate, we co-created something truly special.  Most importantly, when participants logged off after our Sunday gatherings, they were all able to use the tools and support I shared, to become more mindful about their relationships with technology, and to find balance.  

Scroll down to learn more and hear what participants are saying about their experience.  I would love to see you on July 5!

Much Love,
Christina
