Description:

You’re invited to a virtual SESP Wellness Week Book Talk where Dean Bryan Brayboy will be in conversation with writer and activist Tricia Hersey about her book Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto. 

Hersey is the founder of The Nap Ministry — a movement to understand the liberatory power of rest.

“Her work is a pathway to the rest practices needed to collectively build and imagine new worlds as we simultaneously dismantle and deprogram ourselves from the systems that prop up and perpetuate the racial, social, and environmental harm done by white supremacy and extractive capitalism.” - triciahersey.com
