Tricia Hersey
I first encountered Tricia Hersey on Instagram. Her handle? The Nap Ministry. The message? Rest is Resistance; resistance to capitalist white supremacy. She went on to write a book of the same name, then another called We Will Rest. In the audio version, the listener hears the rhythmic repetition as an incantation to rest. As an activist, author, and artist, Hersey’s creative approach to communicating through writing, speaking, and performance art inspires, challenges and mobilizes.



“When we begin to rest, when we begin to take root, to dream and imagine, things begin to make sense. Connections begin to happen. We step into the miracle of our bodies. To slow down.”
~ Tricia Hersey (Author, Activist, Artist)
