Ashes to ashes. Dust to Dust. #2024 was one of the hardest years of my life. Running for re-#election It was endless struggle as I attempted to survive myself because I wanted to die last year. Attacked because I dared to say #freepalestine #freecongo #housingisahumanright #environmentaljustice #workersrights So I surrendered myself to the flames. There’s something sacred about destruction when it’s intentional. About the fire that consumes what no longer serves us and leaves behind the raw material for something freer, truer. I didn’t just die last night—I dismantled the version of me you thought you knew. The woman who bore the weight of your expectations, your critiques, your violence. I fed her to the flames, not in surrender, but in reclamation. What rose from the ashes wasn’t emptiness, but purpose.
A movement reborn, stronger. Advocacy grounded in liberation. A life no longer bound by the constraints of titles, but shaped by the dust of stars, of ancestors, of revolution. Dust doesn’t vanish; it transforms. It carries us back to the Earth, back to the movements that birthed us, back to the infinite cycles of becoming. From the fire comes the power to build, to fight, to dream again. This isn’t a funeral—it’s a beginning.
