Are you tired all the time? Rest Is Resistance explores the reasons why we all are. In particular why marginalized groups are.

Let it be a step in the direction to reclaiming your life. We were not meant to live the way our capitalist culture dictates.

I will preface by saying self help nonfiction is not my jam. But I love the idea of Nap Ministries and find the Instagram inspirational and fantastic. Everything this woman says is magical and true. I definitely think it’s a message worth taking the time to understand and take actionable steps towards. I feel the book is an extension of the Instagram that I didn’t necessarily need and at times it got repetitive but I know that was purposeful. In the end if you love self-help and are on an anti-racist community journey or any person of color, this is a must read. At the very least you have to follow the Instagram!
