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.
