I love this piece. I didn't know that Tina Turner practiced Buddhism or that Rosa Parks practiced yoga. I wish that more people talked about more about all the wonderful things these women did on a daily basis and the values that they believed in instead of putting all these great women in one tiny little box. Thank you for sharing this! :)

You're most welcome! And I agree, they're so much more than their (albeit extremely notable) contributions to the world.

oh I love that framing! It's funny, I've always looked at Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison as my creative/intellectual ancestors, but this totally fits, too--my role models of rest. 💜
