Liberation Spring is the fresh dose of community, solidarity and perspective I needed. As a professional, academic and activist trained in Euro-Centric institutions, connecting to people and organizations who function beyond this paradigm is crucial for my sanity and sense of stability. Anjali models what it looks like to stand firm and embody decolonial values and therefore gave me permission to do the same. She models the standards, the boundaries and validated my experiences and needs around liberation, solidarity and freedom. During my time participating in Liberation Spring, I’ve gained resources that I’ve used with my therapy clients, professional colleagues and on my personal journey. I’ve gained clarity around my purpose, as well as empirical knowledge to legitimize my praxis in the White supremacist and colonial society I live in. Though I’ve never actually met Anjali in person, my interactions with her always make me feel as though we are a part of a global community committed to liberation. Anjali is generous with sharing herself and her gifts through Liberation Spring and is truly an accessible spring of wisdom, knowledge, perspective and critical consciousness. I feel grateful to call Anjali community, colleague and friend and will continue to engage with her offerings and would recommend them to anyone wanting to walk a decolonial path toward liberation.
