“Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto" by Tricia Hersey

Postponed to 11 April 😊

Our next book club selection is “Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto" by the amazing Tricia Hersey.

Join us as we explore this important nonfiction piece by the founder of the Nap Ministry. The book serves as a battle cry and guidebook that challenges the forces of capitalism and white supremacy by promoting rest as a form of resistance.

Rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism, the book offers captivating storytelling and practical advice in the lyrical voice of the author, who draws from her extensive background in theology, activism, and performance art. Rest is Resistance is a manifesto and call to action for those grappling with sleep deprivation, seeking justice, and seeking liberation from the oppressive influence of Grind Culture.
