In this article, Pozner discusses the importance of self-care in making resistance work sustainable. The article identifies a number of ways in which leaders of Multiracial Movements for Black Lives engage in self-care. Pozner takes care to reinforce that self-care looks different for every person; it can be something as simple as spending time alone, or something more formal such as seeking counseling.
