Crowning Goddess, Parables of Firility (LIVE Event)

03/13/22 • 104 min

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,

During our live women's re-empowerment event, we had the pleasure of experiencing many facets of “woman” through the art of dance, painting, music, and poetry. Listen up and get down for the cause, as Asett discusses the topic of womanhood with a diversity panel of firile goddesses. Firility is not recognized as an official word. We are empowered to create our own language to describe women that is equal, if not greater than, man’s “virility.” Firile is born of fire, a powerful force of nature. For all the people who have suppressed our voices, used their physical strength to hold us down, failed to see us for more than our bodies, used our empathy against us, viewed us as the lesser sex, paid us less than we deserved, or put us on a pedestal...This is for you.

This is our moment to crown ourselves goddesses.

We would like to express our deepest thanks to the artists, performers, panelists, and production team that made this all happen, without asking for anything in return.

Ally Yourself With Co-Conspirators

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, & the Uninitiated,

What the hell is an ally? Not when inside the tense and volatile spaces of war rooms staging the violent affairs of death and mayhem, but when asking to be seen as more than a stigma, label, object, or more importantly “other”! We struggle so often trying to find the right way to describe, define and detail the ways we hope someone can be an ally to us, that we forget what it means to ally ourselves with the interest of others first. In a world that is continuously spreading information to make us feel ever more isolated and divided, how can we ensure that when someone reaches out they know; we got them.

Knowing the effects of art presented to individuals, especially those in underserved communities; or just a bite to eat for our unhomed population. These two firile sols are consistently finding ways to extend their reach and ingratiate more members of the community under the warmth of their loving heart.

Sarah Spinks of Backfence Society Inc. and Heather aka DJ WildBlooms- Fallbrook Mutual Aid... mother, friend, shoulder, wife, intellect,... many words adhere to them and they explain how we can become better not just allies but co-conspirators.

The best way forward is to become better versed in the cultures of others, the struggles they go through, and the heart it takes to exist in “separate but equal spaces”.

Trauma-Rama and Mental Health: Pygmies Don't Self-Deprecate

Freethought Fam - Friends - Family, and new coming community, it is a privilege to share these messages of humanity with you; from the voices of the people.

With the help of Dr. Feeby and Dr Mark, we are able to delve into a much maligned and improperly humanized conversation about: Mental Health, Trauma, and the unique independent/interdependent relationship between them. They hold the key in the creation of who we are as individuals, and the path we walk in life. As sols attempting to thrive in a world that sees us less as humans, and more as tools to economic enrichment, our health is parlayed as an extravagance; and if the scars don’t show it doesn’t exist- walk it off.

We wanted to give a heartfelt understanding of the ways we are so often held captive, by a life of unresolved trauma. The effects of trauma, and most significantly what is trauma relative to another’s. What impact does trauma have in the development of a neural divergent sol, and what does it mean to be labeled as abnormally functioning. How do we gain a better foot in our own path to “normalcy”, while still being cognizant of others.

Suicide is a often a taboo topic, but a real life event that has touched most lives. With the intimate and vulnerable share of personal testimony we get to understand what the thoughts are behind such a final act of submission.

But of course we end with ways to enrich and liven your own life. This is a topic we all need, but far too many never get the chance to hear.

2 Pieces & a Biscuit: Thank you for listening, sharing, rating, and the rest of tha digs; be blessed!. It is a privilege to share with you these messages to #Humanizeus. #ShowyourHumanity and take the time to see people. #BeRevolutionary it makes ya solglow.
