In this episode of The Pleasure Priority Podcast, Amber discusses the current FAFO (Fuck Around and Find Out) movement, emphasizing its relevance to Black women resting and self-care. The conversation reflects on the critical role black women have played in pushing social movements forward and the need for us to rest following the 92% turnout in recent U.S. elections that still didn't produce favorable results. The FAFO movement encourages black women to focus on self-care and allow others to take up the mantle of activism while we take the next four years to rest. Amber highlights various forms of rest, including physical, creative, mental, social, emotional, and sensory rest, as essential practices for resting intentionally ad sustaining well-being. In addition, the episode promotes National Day of Rest for Black Women on March 10th, honoring the legacy of Harriet Tubman, and invites listeners to join her for the Black Girl Burnout Society’s virtual event celebrating and discussing the National Day of Rest for Black Women on March 9th. Black women resting and prioritizing personal well-being are revolutionary acts that deserve to be honored and recognized.
