You're listening to life kit.
From NPR.
Well, forgive me, because I'm on this mic exhausted.
We all are, though.
I think we all are residing sometimes in a place of exhaustion, in and out.
That's what the culture is doing.
You're listening to NPR's life kit.
I'm Shereen Marisol Meraji, and my guest today is Tricia Hersey, also known as the Knapp Bishop.
Trisha founded a project called the Knap Ministry back in 2016, and she uses performance art and social media and photography.
She even has a hotline to promote the healing power of rest.
And now she has a book out called rest is resistance, and Trisha says she wants it to be a bomb for an exhausted world.
Look, I don't usually start my interviews talking about how tired I am, but Trisha really encourages her overworked readers and her IG followers to acknowledge that we're exhausted and that we have the right to rest.
So here goes.
I'm so tired.
I don't know how to say no.
I know you've heard this a million times.
I definitely am one of those people who operates from a scarcity mentality that I was 100% raised with.
Shout out to my puerto rican mom and my iranian.
I was going to ask, were you from an immigrant family?
Yes.
