NAME: Victoria (She/Her / הִוא )
ABOUT: Victoria is the Co-founding Executive Director for the Atlanta Jews of Color Council. She will raise joyous, healthy children, free to thrive as themselves, in our liberated future.
MY SURPRISING SOURCE OF STUDY: “Learning better self care. Teaching myself what foods nourish my body and what foods to avoid. I'm learning to reserve time on my calendar to lift weights, go for runs, and take rest to preserve a positive mindset. If I don’t, there is always something or someone else that gets prioritized. It’s definitely a learning process. To take care of one's health is a mitzvah, and the Sages find this mandate implied in the words, ‘take heed to thyself and take care of your lives’ (Deuteronomy 4:9).”
