Land Acknowledgement
My lifelong relationship with the land and waters of my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia is a story of mutual sustenance--the land gives generously and unconditionally to me, and I do my best to give the same in return. I'm beyond grateful to the Mvskoke (Muscogee) people, the original caretakers of this place, and honor their enduring presence, wisdom, and stewardship. I grieve the sustained oppression, violence, broken promises, and inhumane removals that forced them from this land.
As part of my desire for healing and justice, I commit to daily practices that nurture native life, encouraging others to value this land, and protecting it now and in the future. I also actively seek to learn from Indigenous people and support Indigenous-led organizations and initiatives.
You can deepen your relationship with the land where you live by learning about its original caretakers here.
May our actions nurture a culture of care for generations to come.
