Rest as Resistance: The Radical Power of Black Rest & Self-Care

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH MIND GARDEN PATH
Honoring Black Excellence, Wellness, and the Mind-Body Connection

Introduction

In a world that glorifies hustle culture, rest is an act of resistance—especially for Black communities that have been conditioned to overwork and overextend. But true wellness requires balance, restoration, and self-preservation—which is exactly what we emphasize at Mind Garden Path.

The Science of Rest & Healing

  • Zora Neale Hurston wrote, "If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it." We must prioritize self-care and mental health.

  • The Nap Ministry, founded by Tricia Hersey, highlights that rest is reparations—advocating for intentional stillness and stress recovery.

  • Sleep deprivation is linked to high rates of anxiety, depression, and chronic illness—a reality disproportionately affecting Black communities.
