Op-Ed: Why we need to shift from a scarcity mindset to abundance now, more than ever

Activist and Rosie founder Adrianne Wright says sharing our stories, and bearing witness to them, can reclaim our humanity.

The morning after the election, I told myself to stay off my news feeds and social media accounts—it’d be the most “self-care” thing I could do. But it was exactly what I did not do. Part of me was searching to see if the result, and its implications for myself and my daughters as women of color, was all really true. Another part was looking for community, to validate that I was not alone in my despair, my deep shock that most of our country had chosen hate and chaos rather than humanity. Reading the shared experiences of others was a balm. I was not alone.
