Audre Lorde was a Black lesbian feminist poet and an inspiration to look to, for she could see both difference and sameness, and know how to work with both. She was a fierce activist and listening to her can be both empowering and soothing in these times of crisis - a crisis of capitalist exploitation that led us to a climate crisis and a pandemic that makes deeper the already existing inequalities. But one can learn to live with fear and beyond it, with disease and beyond it, and most importantly, with each other - care and organize, for each other.
00:15 Part I - fear is normal
03:11 Part II - our differences are our strengths
06:00 Part III - community care
07:58 Part IV - a litany for survival
