Descansar es resistir

In this book, Tricia Hersey—also known as the Nap Bishop—encourages us to connect with the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and napping as a foundation for healing and justice. In *Rest Is Resistance*, Tricia Hersey sheds illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and on how to imagine and dream our way toward a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not lie in how much we produce—especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclamation of power because it affirms our most basic humanity. We are enough. Systems cannot own us. *Rest Is Resistance* is rooted in spiritual energy and centers on Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice—all conveyed in Hersey’s lyrical voice and informed by her deep background in theology, activism, and the performing arts—*Rest Is Resistance* is a call to action, a battle cry, a field guide, and a manifesto for all of us who are sleep-deprived, seeking justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture.
