Welcome to this Sunday Reflection on The Daily Donna.

In today’s episode, I am taking a slow down and reflective moment. There is a question I have been ruminating on: 

Do you feel like you have to earn your right to rest, pleasure, or even your humanity?

Inspired by a comment on a recent video, a Main Stage Talk I did yesterday, and the completion of my first week of daily posting. We are talking about how systems of supremacy, performance culture, and internalized expectations teach us to place our basic human needs behind a “paywall.”

In this episode we explore:

Why rest is not something you have to earn
How supremacy culture teaches us to perform for worthiness
How Black communities can unintentionally reinforce harmful systems
