description: Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic damaging and machinelevel pace of work  feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its virtuous benefit. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce especially for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest in its simplest form becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy.From the founder and creator of The Nap Ministry Rest Is Resistance is a battle cry a guidebook a map for a movement and a field guide for the weary and hopeful. It is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation womanism somatics and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice all delivered in Herseys lyrical voice and informed by her deep experience in theology activism and performance art Rest Is Resistance is a call to action and manifesto for those who are sleep deprived searching for justice and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture.
