"Our grandmothers' tears of Tatreez live on through us. Tatreez will always hold hope, tears and sumud...our cultural inheritance. Their gift to us for the enduring. We are more than fierce grief...we are ancestral indigeneities in human form dreamed into being by our ancestors. We are strength, poetry, art, magic and so much more. We were formed by dreams, sand and stardust but we are shaped by love. We can keep going through this time. We can and will endure." -- Micaela Kaibni Raen

Global Genocides& Health Catastrophes
The multiple genocides and populations facing violence and starvation has been unbearable to witness and is our call to action. We must all find out place in the struggle for justice and human rights. We will mourn, more than ever before, shedding tears for Palestine, Lebanon, Congo, Sudan, Haiti, Syria, and so many more areas with people struggling to survive disease, starvation and violent attacks. Many are planning protests, performances, teach-ins, letter/email/phone campaigns, community outreach, and more. As we move forward, here is my prayer… https://www.thehalacollective.com/blog/time-of-enduring-a-letter-to-my-hala-collective
