You are worthy of sleep.
This February, we invite you to join us in disrupting the narrative of "go, go, go" by shedding light on sleep deprivation and the importance of rest within the Black community.
In support, Calm pledges to donate $10,000 to @TheNapMinistry for taking a stand for mental health and Black rest.
Birthed out of her own experiences with exhaustion, Tricia Hersey founded the organization in 2016 to examine the liberating power of rest. In her words, “Rest is critical because it's counterintuitive and counter-narrative to see slowing down, napping and rest as a key to our movement for Black liberation. But it really is so important because rest disrupts and pushes back and allows space for healing, for invention, for us to be more human."
"It'll allow us to imagine this new world that we want, this new world that's liberated, that's full of justice, that's a foundation for us to really, truly live our lives.”
Tune in all month for conversations with #TheNapMinistry and more on the transformative power of sleep, plus tips on finding time to recharge and heal throughout the day. #BlackRestIsPower 📷:@charliewattsphoto
