Fierce Love
Fierce Love

"Our North Star is Love.

And I don't mean like wimpy nappy pappy love. I'm talking about the
kind of Love that James Baldwin says, that Love is a Growing Up.

Love is Hard. Love Takes Risks. Yes, Love is Revolutionary.
Love is Fierce. Love Demands the Truth.
Love Listens to the Hard Things.
Love Hangs In & Sticks In When the Going Gets Tough.
Love Cries Tears but then Gets Moving & Makes a Way Out of No Way.

That's what I need white accomplices to do:
Love Me & My People Hard Enough to Work to Make an Anti-Racist Nation."

- Reverend Jacqui Lewis

It's the type of Love that's not afraid to stop behaviors both internally and externally that are creating harm or draining energy.

EXPANSION & How We Keep Ourselves Small

Over the past year and a half - amidst our 3 weddings (Yes, 3 of them to the same amazing man!) and becoming pregnant (SQUEAL!) - I danced with the decision of whether or not to officially change my business name to my new full name post-marriage: Kelsey Fox Bennett Boyd.

When I got married I was SO excited to have four names. Four is my favorite number and I love the way my full name sounds so I legally made Fox and Bennett my two middle names and Boyd my last name. I was expanding into my new life (My body is now literally expanding with our baby, too!) and my name felt like a representation of that expansion.

I did some research before making any changes to my business name and learned that there are some folks who love having their business name be separate from their personal name. Others do not make changes because it can get complicated. And finally, many talk about making it easy on your followers - i.e. you could potentially confuse them with a name change.

All these sounded reasonable, but did they ring true for me? I wasn’t sure yet…
