WELCOME BACK TO THE LIBERATED VOICE EXCHANGE IN 2023.  Martha Wilson, LVE’s premiere author, is back in the cypher to usher in the new year.  In her 2023 debut piece, Resolution Reframe: Ditch the Resolution and Stand Resolved, Martha expresses the value in the principles of Kwanzaa, and how the principles have positively impacted her in the quest of liberation, justice, and belongingness. Once the principles and virtues are outlined and accepted, it then becomes about how to practice them daily, moment by moment. She makes a call to action of readers to care deeply and genuinely for oneself, reminding us that we are beautiful, AND we are worthy of rest and rejuvenation. And in turn, readers will have the renewed energy to heal in the collective. The insight, humanity, and unwavering sense of justice is greatly appreciated and necessary.  It is time to stand resolved!
