A couple of people asked for more on Recentering skills and we'll talk about it on Monday. For now, a favorite quote that reflects this particular skill set. June Jordan was an American writer, poet, teacher, and social activist, who wrote from the perspective of a bisexual, Black, female, New Yorker.
She writes, "Freedom is indivisible or it is nothing at all besides sloganeering and temporary, short-sighted, and short-lived advancement for a few. Freedom is indivisible, and either we are working for freedom or you are working for the sake of your self-interests and I am working for mine" (133).
(From her essay "A New Politics of Sexuality," in the book Some of Us Did Not Die, Basic Books, 2002.)
