Obsessed with (re)thinking walking

If you are like me, you were thrilled to see that bfp and Jess have put the call out for people to submit to their (re)thinking walking series. I’m obsessed with that series, and I think it’s a great way to get connected to our bodies (Latinas, ya feeling me?).

Here’s the call out
:

As the conversation continued, we all decided that if we posted these pictures (along with a write up written by WCD), we could use this as an opportunity to ask other women to send in their own stories of (re)thinking walking. Whether it was pictures or words or video or music…documenting our experiences means, as WCD says, building a small community–a small community that knows that women of color taking up space together may not always be safe and beautiful and mean hair dancing in the sun…but it’s always revolution in the making.

What Jess and I would be looking for: any type of medium that can be posted through a blog format that expresses what you understand as your own journey. We’re looking for movement–how you define that is up to you (check out our (re)thinking walking files for starting ideas!).

And as Jess and I have both noted–don’t feel pressure to write up something earth shattering and stunning. A picture of you in your backyard with your kids is just as amazing and revealing and potentially movement creating as the three page long bfp reflection!!!

Send anything you have to rethinkingwalking at gmail dot com!

Are you gonna do it? I will if you will!
