IT TOOK ME YEARS TO UNDERSTAND:
Collective liberation has many perspectives.
Only doing the inner work – separately, in our atomic households – won’t be enough.
We need community. We need connection. We need to take various collective actions to fight oppression where we see it.
But there’s that inner work, too. Profound. Slow. Rarely easy. Never comfortable.
But always always always worth it.
As a political commentator who talks about different forms and systems of external oppression, I’m also interested in my own personal transformation. In this platform, I share with you tools, frameworks, authors, and anything of value I have found to lead a life of authenticity.
Imperfectly, yes – but to do it any way.

It was a long-awaited family weekend that not even a potentially terrible weather could stop. How terrible was the weather…

It’s OK to Ease into Non-Adventures, Sometimes
On my way to work, I have to move my body in weird ways (that can also be observed – from far away, to be safe – on the dance floor sometimes) to avoid a swarm of school kids on their tiny scooters. Like in an uncoordinated aerobics workout, I have to jump to one…

Oh The Mountains, Oh The Gratitude a.k.a. The Andes Effect
“Earth, well done!” – I thought, with lots of pride as a human being, as I was mercilessly depleting the battery of my phone, taking hundreds of pictures through the plane window. I very rarely book a window seat (being able to go to the bathroom without bothering anyone is always a practical priority), but…
MORE ABOUT ME
My name is Justina, nice to see you here.
I’m a political commentator, travel, language, and pet enthusiast, an educator, and someone who has a deep desire to share valuable resources with others.
Because I know too well what it means to not be living out of your values: not to speak out, not to bring your full you to work, and not to do what’s truly meaningful to you. I’ve been there myself and I know what it does to your soul.
If you’re there, I want to help YOU to leave by sharing different tools and frameworks ❤️
