GET SONALI’S FREE GIFT:
"From Cultural Appropriation to Reclaiming & Healing Wounds of Colonization"

Highlights:

“As a second generation immigrant, as a woman of color, as a Sri Lankan American, learning to take care of ourselves is not part of the equation of coming here. This self-care aspect that I’m seeing commercialized and perpetuated in our entrepreneurial circle was so foreign to me. So I’ve had to unlearn and relearn what that means to me, but in a way that isn’t so commercialized.”
“I feel this inherited sense of loss that I need to reclaim and honor and serve better, and what that truly means is loving that part of myself because i don’t want my descendants to have to struggle as much as I have to reclaim that part of me. I want my son to truly beautifully love and appreciate that part of himself.”
“If i cannot experience joy in my work, then fuck it - I don’t want it.”
“My grandparents’ way of showing love to their neighbors was through the barter system. They had beautiful fruit trees in their backyard, and they would give their eggs and fruit in exchange for coconuts or some other commodity or food item, and this is how they expressed love and appreciation for others. So when I pay for a mentor or give another gift to a sister like you, in my mind’s eye that’s what I am seeing; that kind of love and beauty perpetuated. We don’t have the ability to exchange actual fruits and vegetables but this is how money appears to me in my mind’s eye.”
Sonali closes out with a poem, “These Dark Circles Under My Eyes”
