Diversity means valuing different voices, not expecting everyone to communicate in the same way.

Bias asks, "What's wrong with her?" Equity asks, "What assumptions am I making?"

Reciprocity is the practice of remembering our connections.

The problem is not that women of color take up space. The problem is that society is still uncomfortable seeing them lead.

Allyship is not measured by intentions. It's measured by the work you're willing to do when no one is teaching, praising, or guiding you.

If your learning requires someone else's exhaustion, you're doing it wrong.

Women of color should not have to choose between being authentic and being perceived as "likable."

A lot on my mind...this is why I am very intentional who I work with now.

Believe Indigenous women when they tell you what their communities need. Allyship begins with listening, not leading. 

#FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayatrees #IndigenousScience #Earthdaughters

A good ally doesn't demand emotional labor from those experiencing injustice. They seek knowledge, listen deeply, and take responsibility for their own growth.

Science is a way of knowing. Indigenous science is a way of belonging.

Move resources, not just words. Support Indigenous women with funding, opportunities, & decision-making power.

The land is our oldest teacher, and Indigenous science begins by listening.

In Indigenous ways of knowing, science is not separate from respect, responsibility & relationship,

#FreshBananaLeaves #GrowingPapayatrees #IndigenousScience #EarthDaughters

Supporting Indigenous women is not a one-day commitment. It is a daily practice.
