"Elmira, how do I deal with family members who support racist influencers?" - Brave Flame
Dear Brave Flame,
When your family supports racist influencers, it’s not “just a difference of opinion.” It’s complicity in hate. Racism isn’t casual—it’s violent. It kills, it silences, it poisons communities. Beloved, you do not owe tolerance to intolerance.
You cannot reason someone out of bigotry if they’re invested in it. But you can stand against it. You can draw clear boundaries: “I will not share space with hate speech. I will not normalize racism at this table.” You can call it what it is—ugly, dangerous, destructive.
And you can live the opposite. Let your life be the counter-spell: equity, justice, love in action. March. Donate. Educate. Protest. Show up. Because family silence has never dismantled racism—but truth spoken, even when it shakes the room, has always been the first step.
And remember: words matter. We’ve just seen the cost of rhetoric escalating to violence in our world. Hate speech doesn’t stay words—it grows teeth, it pulls triggers, it ends lives. Which is why we fight it where it starts: even in our families.
Hold the line, Brave Flame. You are not being “difficult.” You are protecting what is sacred. Boundaries are not betrayal—they are resistance. And resistance, Beloved, is love in action. You don’t have to face this fire alone. MIRASPA is more than a spa—it’s a sanctuary for collective healing, courage, and truth-telling. Come sit with us in circle, come rise with us in love!
