As we face, together, the ever maddening climates of our socio-political landscapes, we sing this song in profound solidarity with all communities working to bring more grace and justice into our world. To all the artists, activists, teachers, grandmamas, counselors, medicine keepers, land healers, and dreamweavers, who keep this world a more beautiful place for us all, so that we may still have opportunities to believe in the good things coming.
First of all, thank you so much to Nahko and Medicine for the People for writing such a stunning piece. I have been inspired by this song from the moment I first heard it. Thank you so much to my sisters Julie Indelicato and Morgan Bolender for singing this song with me in beautiful harmony. Singing with other women is one of the most nourishing things I know to do. And thank you to the very talented Sam Hinds for lending your enchanting ways of playing guitar to bring the song to life. Many thanks to George S. Rosenthal for engineering, Cedar Ranney for capturing and crafting the video and Manon Coquelicot for her mad editing skills.
If this video brings you good feelings, please share with the folks around you.
