Fellowship for Liberated Futures is co-hosted by three Black cis women-led organizations and entities: ProInspire, The Chisholm Legacy Project and Dr. Chera Reid.
We are committed to showing up authentically as stewards. This also requires that we embody the rest practices we encourage Fellows to integrate into their day-to-day lives as climate justice leaders.
In this "Rest to Rise" reflective series, each host organization will lean into their senses to express how rest shows up internally. Join us Dr. Chera Reid explores rest through her senses.

What does rest sound like? Rest sounds like waves crashing into the shore.
What is your favorite rest practice? Pausing to consider what I can take off my calendar or to-list, and then following through. Creating more space to be.
