I made this as a reminder to myself that life is too short to pretend being someone I’m not. It was inspired by a letter Ann Curry writes to her younger self in the book I’m reading now called “What I know now: Letters to my younger self” edited by Ellyn Spragins.

Hope you enjoyed my yoga and colonization post from the other day and my 15 East Bay favorites. This is the fifth of an ongoing series of posts for the yoga teacher training fundraiser I launched a couple of weeks ago 🙂 I’ve already raised $2605 out of my $3500 goal with 11 days to go, and you can help me get closer 🙂 As a queer woman of color community artist and activist, I believe that I can be a part of the change to make yoga more accessible to marginalized bodies. Please visit my campaign page:igg.me/at/miyukiyoga to watch the video I made and to see all of the original art you get in exchange for donating! Thanks!
