Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash The Kyriarchy

Choose Your Adventure

Hey friends! Happy Lunar New Year! 

This month, our family welcomes the Year of the Dragon. Leading us into the new year with courage, strength and wisdom.

In contrast to last year’s Rabbit – this is no time to tread lightly. Set a path for change  and barrel forward with conviction!

This February we’re igniting a spark of compassion in our kids by getting honest about how the world really is – and what an amazing place it could be

…IF we can resist false urgency and other nonsense that distracts us from dismantling injustice from the roots up.

Here’s to pushing for radical change through the year of the dragon and beyond!

With you,

Ashia R.

PS: Grab a limited-edition Year of the Rabbit hoodie & support this toolkit!
