Often defined by our resilience, strength, and grit, the Black community is one that champions the hustle. We hold ourselves to such a high standard, wearing our ability to push through adversity like a badge of honor. While the grind is admirable, it may not be sustainable, so this semester, we want to remind the community to stop and smell the roses. Whether that means recharging your mind, engaging your body, or feeding your spirit, it is important now more than ever to treat yourself with care.
In the words of poet and activist Tricia Hersey: Rest is resistance. There is power in the ability to smile and laugh in the face of adversity. We deserve moments of rest and reflection. While achieving success through hard work is crucial, our self-worth shouldn’t be solely defined by our work. Rest isn’t just about sleep. Rest can be taking a break from physical activity, stepping away from mental exertion, or disconnecting from work or stressful situations to give your mind a chance to relax and regain focus. Rest is about balance. In today’s fast-paced world, we push ourselves to the limit, focusing solely on productivity and achievements. However, true rest involves taking moments to pause, be present, and allow our body and mind the space to heal, process, and rejuvenate. This issue shows the many ways we can rest and recharge as individuals and as a community.
As you continue to do the amazing things you do, please remember to take care of yourself. You are worthy of rest simply because you exist.
Take care

Balance

Meet Soup, a SU sophomore with a sustainable approach to design who uses their love for sewing to celebrate their identity.
Can you share a bit about your journey as a designer? What got you into sewing?
SR: When I was little, I found my mom’s sewing machine in a closet and I was immediately in love. Before I found that machine I was hand sewing clothes for my dolls with instruction from YouTube videos online. I used any material I could get my hands on: old socks, dirty shirts, my dad’s work pants. Sewing was a way for me to pass the time at first, but then it became a way for me to express myself. I used to wish there were clothes out there that had designs I wanted, designs that made me feel confident and happy but there weren’t or at least they were not easily accessible. Now I design clothes that highlight my unique identity and aesthetic. All the clothes I saw online that I couldn’t afford, I could now have with a little bit of time and dedication on the sewing machine.Through sewing, I was able to make whatever I wanted and that was liberating. Bright,colorful, wacky clothes that allow me
to shine the way I want and escape the feeling of needing to fit in. Having the ability to make pants with functional pockets has been a game changer too.
How do your lived experiences influence your approach to design? What are you most inspired by?
I am nonbinary. That means I don’t identify strictly as a man or woman on the gender spectrum and as wonderful as being nonbinary is, it is equally difficult. I am always balancing the on the line of androgyny and being perceived as something outside of that. I know I can’t control others’ perceptions so I use my clothing to signify my gender expression’ but that can be hard since so many clothing items are separated by gender. It felt too revealing wearing slim fit women’s clothes and too baggy wearing men’s clothes. I was always having fit issues because I was still learning about myself and my body. So
I learned how to tailor my clothes to fit me the way I wanted. Tailored to the portions I wanted without highlighting areas I didn’t want. I am inspired by fashion in the 70s and the use of solid colors alongside patterns. For too long I have felt I needed to disappear into the crowd because of my race or my gender identity and my clothes reflected that. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself because I had been criti cized in the past far too often. Through my journey sewing though I have realized my happiness is more important than other people’s opinions or comfort. Bright colors and as I would describe “children’s story book” vibes are what I strive for now. Why fit in when I was born to stand out? My clothes reflect my desires.
Can creative work be a form of self-care? If so, how? Creative work can be a form of self care. Sewing is a thera peutic process for me. I focus on one thing and in the end I get the satisfaction of a complete project. This process makes me feel good about myself because sewing is one of the few times where I don’t have to focus on anything but myself. I am making clothes that fit my body, that celebrate my body, that make me feel good in my body. Taking time to make clothes that will last long and suit my needs is a form of self care because it tells me that my needs matter and are worth spending time on. Expressing your emotions is just as important as expressing your creatvity.
How does sustainability impact your work? How can the design world better support collective care and sustainability?
thrown out there should be a focus on making a diverse
Growing up my family didn’t have much. We reused everything not because we wanted to but because it was our way to survive. Hand-me-downs, sewing up holes in clothes, and reusing fabric for patches were common occurrences in my home and at first I was ashamed of that. I was ashamed that I didn’t have the newest clothes but once I started sewing I saw how reusing items was a crucial part of my process and personal history. In this series of checkered garments I reused a shower curtain over and over to make seven garments/ accessories. By reusing the same material over and
cherish and develop their own unique style. We should come together to teach one another how to take our agency back through our fashion habits. I see a design world where community members teach one another how to create clothes that suit their bodies and exchange items amongst one another. I believe projects such as my own allow people to see the possibilities of what sustainable, long lasting, and functional fashion can look like.
How do you see your work fitting into the broader history of Black creativity and design?
Dating back to colonial era Black people were the ones creating the nation’s everyday functional objects. Furniture, architecture,textiles, clothing, pottery, and so much more were all made thanks to the skills African People had acquired from their homeland. Their labor was labeled as craft and not as worthy as fine art, but they were not the ones deciding what was deemed as high art or not. To this day, society does not hold the work and creativity of minority groups such as the Black community in as high a regard as other art forms. My work may be everyday clothes but all clothes are made by hand. Every article of clothing was made by someone, not a machine. My work is opening up the conversation to talk about the people who are ignored. I created my clothes to highlight my identity and evoked my unique aesthetic. Black creativity can manifest in many ways and it can take new forms. My work is Black because I am Black and that is a vital part of my work. Black people are still being suppressed but we will never stop creating new narratives for ourselves and never settle with being invisible. Bright colors, patterns, and style all are thanks to the early influence of African tribes on the American aesthetic.

There through thick and thin
First, the oil exfoliator, then to my cleansing balm. The water-based moisturizer to the hydrating cream. With the day moving at such a relentless pace, every intentional step and chosen product becomes a quiet rebellion against time itself.
I stare at my reflection and tend to each faint red mark, gently restoring my pores. A skincare routine is deliberate, personal, and a ritual of renewal. It’s more than maintenance and self-care, it’s a way of nurturing oneself.
The weight of the day—both physical and emotional— rinses away with cleanser, soothed by the comfort of serums and lotions. My skin is not a problem to fix but a canvas to care for. Each product layered on is a reminder to my body: you deserve this effort, this tenderness, this protection. Outside of this space, it may feel like the world doesn’t always offer softness, but here, in these steps, I give it to myself.
So tonight, turn on your playlist, dim the lights, and reclaim rest—one product at a time.

Sarhia
and Brandan’s Black love story
By Ahna Fleming
“I’m not marrying a Black man,” Sarhia Rahim declared at her family’s friends’ gathering in Chicago when she was nine years old.
There’s not one drop of racism, anti-Blackness, or any form of hatefulness, really, in Sarhia’s heart.
Half African American and half Cambodian, she’s an organizer, op-ed columnist and innovator who works to unite the community in Syracuse, where she was born and raised.
And, now 21, Sarhia is engaged — to a Black man.
Her fiancé, Brandan Meyer, who is half Black and half white, understands why she had those thoughts.
“It’s very relatable, especially for me — oh, my goodness — as someone who’s mixed,” he said. “It’s hard to acknowledge those ideas existing within yourself. It’s hard to identify immediately.”
For Black people, internalized racism is the antithesis of self love. It has to be unlearned, as I like to say, or “taught out of you,” Brandan says.
Sarhia still cringes at her nine-year-old self’s comment — “Girl, it’s so embarrassing,” she told me — but she knows why she said it.
“I had this understanding — I already knew what wasn’t desirable and wouldn’t be desirable for others,” she said. “I was like, well, the standard ain’t people like me.”
Sometime when she was in high school, Sarhia finally accepted her Blackness.
“There was just a moment where I just started feeling more radical, and I was just like, I’m Black. I’m Black, I don’t give a f*ck,” she said.
What is Black love?
It’s “twofold,” Brandan said.
“It’s a love of yourself and a love of your community,” he said. “It’s finding within yourself — despite societal standards and setbacks — self acceptance. Society tries to hold back Black culture, Blackness as an identity. It’s not your identity that is the problem — the problem is with society.”
For Black people, internalized racism is the antithesis of self love. It has to be unlearned, as I like to say, or “taught out of you.”
The first thing Brandan said when I asked what he loves about Sarhia:
“Her sense of responsibility towards her community. I really admire that about her, and then also, just her work ethic in general. She’s a very hard-working person, and I respect that a lot about her,” he said. “She does a lot for a lot of people, even though she bears the weight of all of it.”
She really does bear the weight of it all. Sarhia lamented to me the exhaustion — the same exhaustion her mother faced — that comes with being a Black Muslim woman who has endless love to give and endless work to do.
“My mom is a revert, so when she became Muslim, I think there was a strong longing for connection that she wanted. So I think she put in a lot of effort, at the time, when she was a young mom, to give me a community that she didn’t have growing up,” she said.
But when Sarhia’s family moved back to Syracuse after three years living in Chicago, she felt a disconnect.
“I was like, ‘Oh, well, in Chicago, I had that (sense of community), so why can’t I bring it here?’ Not really realizing that I’m mirroring my mom’s same path in terms of trying to put in effort,” she said.
Sarhia was in high school when she really started putting in effort. She’s a co-founder of Raha Syracuse, a Muslim youth-led organization focused on community outreach and social justice. She’s done countless other civic engagement work, continuing her activism on the Syracuse University campus, where she’s a senior studying public policy analysis and writes biweekly columns for The Daily Orange.
I should mention here that Brandan’s greatgreat-great aunt was Harriet Tubman.
Harriet’s last words as she passed were “I go to prepare a place for you.”
Brandan said “it’s bittersweet” being a descendant of Harriet’s and having that knowledge, because “the work that she had done isn’t done, and there’s a lot more that we can be doing now.” But it’s beautiful that his fiancée is doing a lot of that work, he said.
Like Harriet, Sarhia and her mother each work tirelessly to provide for their communities — to prepare places for others — when really, they need a safe space for themselves as well. Sarhia thinks her mom was “always a little exhausted,” and now she’s reaching that point.
“A part of me is just like, I’m done. I’m tapped out. Like, I need to focus on myself. I need to focus on what I’m going to provide for a future family for myself, and that doesn’t involve this mental toll that I’ve been doing for the past four years,” Sarhia said.
Brandan said Sarhia is a workaholic, and while he looks up to that trait, he understands it’s exhausting.
“I know that it takes a very large toll on her, particularly, so I try my best to become the safe space for her to be able to vent about the things that are going on within her campus community, the things that she’s being met with, and then also giving her the freedom of just being a normal human being, and not just a worker,” he said. “I try my best to remind her that she’s not doing it alone. I’m there to support her any way that I can.”

Benefits of Growing
by Kanischa Miller
“Wine is for everybody,” Cha McCoy told me when showing me around her wine shop. It isn’t just for the professional merchant or private collector, it’s for anyone who wants to try.
Though I had never worked in the beverage industry before, I applied for the open sales associate role at The Communion, looking for a break from the 9-5 grind. The shop specialized in high-quality, low-intervention wines from under-represented producers and regions all around the world. My entry into wine was as much luxury as it was indie. Within my first year, Cha arranged for me to work a harvest at a vineyard on the West side of Cayuga Lake.
Living in the Finger Lakes, I’ve seen how wine has shaped culture. From lake-friendly growing practices to curated tourism experiences, the balance between ecologically conscious production, economic development, and maintaining a high quality, but slow pace of living was inspiring. While it wasn’t my first introduction to growing, working harvest was the first time I’d seen a whole community dedicated to living well while working with the seasons. Growing asks you to slow down and understand the needs of the current season. It is as much about getting to know yourself and your neighbors as it is about getting to know plants.
Expanding research indicates that time spent in green spaces with others while tending to plants boosts self-esteem, social connections, and neighborhood cohesion while reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. You don’t have to move to Wine Country to reap the benefits of growing in community. There are plenty of opportunities to do that right here in town. Syracuse Grows offers a network of gardens across the city of Syracuse, including the Westcott Community Garden, one mile from campus. Pete’s Giving Garden on South Campus, a collaboration between Hendricks Chapel and Sustainability Management, offers a place to learn about land stewardship through its pollinator garden, mini-orchard, and raised beds for planting.
The wine shop introduced me to practices like low intervention and biodynamics, which are a way of producing wine with minimal manipulation or additives, and farming in an integrated way that considers and respects all living things. Though wine introduced me to these concepts formally, community and backyard gardens are where I learned these lessons in practice. Sharing a backyard garden with my sister meant I had to learn that spring onions, part of the allium family, shouldn’t be planted next to snap peas, which could limit the growth of the peas. We had to develop a common knowledge and understanding to effectively produce the food we wanted to eat.
Growing is about more than produce; it’s about connection, cooperation, and care, with the earth and each other. Just like wine is for everyone, I believe growing is too. Whether cultivating grapes in the Finger Lakes or herbs in a raised bed on campus, the act of tending to plants builds community. It teaches us how to share space, make decisions together, and honor the pace of the seasons. If you let it, working with plants not only improves your health and well-being, it can also teach you about cooperation, sovereignty, and solidarity.
How Physics Class Became My Therapy
Poem by Kayla Turner
Oscillating opinions of how to be open.
I write this poem as a pull, to properly pursue positivity
AP physics senior year: I never been good at mathematical mazes but I can climb concepts like no other
As he tells me I am a ground for excited electric energy
I learn that my constant tapping toes are simply just trying to learn how balance the buildup of inertia inside of me
I learn that I’m not supposed to come undone when I give or get from others
I learn that no solution is linear and there is always a component we forget about when we contemplate cutting creation short
I learn to find comfort in the circumference of my courage and cowardness
That no spectrum is straight
That each movement each motion is for a reason
Each breath is a recycled radical and radiant reason to repeat
That all these collisions are simply to yield connections to better conceptualize out conditions
I learned that the easiest substance to break has the highest resistance to become malleable
I learned that gravity cannot ground the force of flight only the fatal fall
I learned the depression is a dependent factor of the displacement from our epicenters
Made myself the nuanced Newton
Layed down laws of living and loving in the lateral
Took these tears and turned them into torques of tenacity
Allowed colums of creativity to course through me
So I can correct currents of comparison
Or maybe
Just maybe
Give myself radius to be radiant
To be remembered
To be reset

Interview by Sarhia Rahim
Founded on SU’s campus in 2022, The Black Pre-Medical Society is comprised of students committed to uplifting and promoting future minority healthcare professionals, changing the face of healthcare for the better.
We got the chance to speak with some of the organization’s members about their experiences and aspirations around healthcare.
What inspired you to join this particular field?
Bailey Snead:
I’ve kind of always wanted to be in the medical field. I did a lot of sports as a kid, and I would go to physical therapy a lot. And then that kind of just sparked a love for the medical field, and I eventually wanted to be a doctor.
Aisha Abdrahman:
When I was younger, I had a lot of experiences in healthcare. I found out I had a brain cyst. I’m fine, it’s not gonna kill me or anything, but it inspired me to learn more about the body. I come from an immigrant background, and I’ve lost a lot of family members who didn’t have access to adequate healthcare, and I want to help bridge the gap as much as I can.
Heavenly Donkor:
I’ve always had a passion for helping people, and I wanted to incorporate the fact that I have a love for sports. So during the time that it was time for applying for colleges and stuff, I was speaking to my college advisor because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to follow my love for math or incorporate some of what my mom would like for my career path in the medical field. So I tried to incorporate
What impact do you think black physicians and healthcare workers have on patient outcomes in black communities?
B.S: It’s a big impact. There’s a difference between getting a Black doctor, a doctor of color, because we understand what it’s like to be mistreated. So we understand how to listen better and we know to trust our patients and what they’re telling us.
H.D: It plays a significant role because seeing somebody like yourself in a field, especially when it comes to medical needs and medical attention. I feel like it’s very important because you look at someone and you feel like this is somebody that you can trust with your life. It breaks a barrier for those who believe that people like us or people of color can’t make it in the medical field. Seeing someone like yourself in these fields just builds motivation for people like us.
A.A: They have a great impact on patient outcomes. It’s important to have physicians who understand the environments that their patients are coming from and have cultural and situational awareness for different circumstances that other doctors might not be able to have. When you have Black doctors treating Black patients, you can expect to have better
some of what my mom would like for my career path in the medical field.
outcomes, and you can expect to have healthier communities.
Do you believe that a patient’s health and self-care are linked to their doctor’s understanding of their cultural background and the understanding of the racial history in the healthcare system?
B.S: In a way, yes. Even if you’re not from a cultural background, being able to sit and listen to someone’s different background is important in helping you treat a patient and in helping how patients view the medical system. If they don’t trust you, they’re not going to go to you, and they’re not gonna be able to take care of themselves as best as they can, which is the end goal. Having an understanding or making an effort to learn about a patient’s background is very important.
If you could change one thing about the healthcare industry today, what would it be?
A.A: Probably cost as a barrier to access. I think that’s something that affects not only just the Black community, but people across healthcare in the United States. When we are making people decide between surviving and having access to healthcare and being healthy versus having money and being able to support their families, that’s a slippery slope, and I don’t think that’s the way the world should be.
H.D: I’d change the ignorance or the respect that certain titles of people in the medical field get. For example, people don’t give nurses the same re-
spect that they give doctors. Obviousl, a doctor is a higher title, but being a nurse or being an RN comes with a lot of things. They also involve themselves the most with the patient.
B.S: How expensive it is. How expensive it is to be a patient, how expensive it is to become a doctor. There’s so many barriers to becoming a doctor that people just give up. There are a lot of people who we need in the medical field. And also, if you’re a patient, it’s very expensive, and then people don’t get the care that they need or the care that they deserve on a human level. So I would change the cost. What advice would you give to future healthcare professionals who want to be, who want to make a difference?
B.S: I would say learning empathy. Not that it’s something you can study and sit down in school and learn, but making sure you really know yourself and know your capacity to sit and listen to patients and make sure you have that skill because if you don’t, that’s how patients get mistreated or misdiagnosed or that’s how mistrust is built.
H.D: I’d honestly say to follow your heart, what you stand for, and what makes you happy, then implement that into helping other people.
A.A: I would say just try to put your best effort forward. Don’t give up. It’s definitely gonna be hard. It’s already hard, and we’re in undergrad, so keep trying and find a community. Find
people who can support you and who you can support as well.
What kind of impact do you hope to make in the healthcare field?
A.A:Wherever I am, I hope to create an environment that emphasizes inclusivity; gathering data and helping people of all backgrounds, especially women and women of color. Oftentimes, they’re overlooked or under-researched, and I want to make sure that in the future, more women have access to healthcare and have access to good healthcare and are being taken care of.
H.D: I do have aspirations of eventually building some sort of practice for physical training, and also creating opportunities for people who may not be able to pay for sports rehabilitation.
B.S: I hope to make an impact, especially on minority groups. They’re very underrepresented and under cared for, and as a doctor, I want to create a safe space for any patient, but especially minority patients, where they feel like they can come to me and be safe and cared for and heard and respected.
Black Men Deserve To Live

As a Black woman, the importance of amplifying how Black masculinities and patriarchies harm us does not go unnoticed. It is crucial to understand that Black women are often disregarded and dismissed of their livelihoods. It is also crucial to understand that oppressive systems cannot be undone unless we freely communicate with one another.
Steve Biko, a South African anti-apartheid activist and philosopher who played a pivotal role in the Black Consciousness Movement, once said, “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”
And this project is no different, I thought that the notion of weapons has been used against our community in violence. But what does it mean when we create projects with Love on representation, understanding, and change within our own communities?
Malcolm X, a Civil Rights Activist and Black Empowerment Activist, also affirms, “there can be no Black-White unity until there is first some Black unity. We cannot think of uniting with others until after we have first united among ourselves.”
To give each other our flowers, grown by Black Love and Joy, while oxygen still fills our lungs. I love Black men who love Black women; every flower that I’ve received came from the Black men around me; Breathing life into one another.
Before thinking about the concept, I knew naming Black people in works amplifies our voices. And I do always think about the team and I knew I would want to work on this with Liv. And I knew
Kazi, John, Ab, Ryan, Nick, Alex, Ous, and Miles were Black men within Syracuse University that reminded me of bright colors, intentionality, and Spring!
We photographed at Barner McDuffie House photographing the care between Black men and women. The importance of fostering this soft and gentle care for each other, learning how to trust one another, and build a strong foundation for our future communities.
There is no doubt that it is more important now than ever, to recenter the Joy within our people’s lives. To be Black and Black and Black, to exist in who we are and love each other for it. To maintain our care for each other so our cultures remain alive. The friendships we uphold could determine the communities we build for our future selves.
Black men in softer spaces, the first pivotal creative decision for this project, Black men in the kitchen and their living roomslaughing and existing. The same spaces that usually hold our flowers in their vases, flowers watered to ensure they live longer. The blue, pink, orange, bright colored flowers meant to show you how much happier our world looks like when we laugh and exist.
To exist in the Black mundane, to experience Black Joy in the mundane, and to ensure Black lives flourish.

From Burnout to Balance: The Politics of Rest for Black Communities
By Sarhia Rahim
There is an expectation that Black women in particular all feel. The weight of the world and an assumption that we are able to do it all, bare a certain type of burden that no one else seems to want to take on. It is so ingrained in us that we pass it on, each generation of women in our lives making the similar statement that “you must be better than average,” because the unspoken truth is that if you aren’t spectacular, your white counterpart with less than subpar credentials will take your place.
A moment I often reflect on is the presidency of Barack Obama, and in turn Michelle Obama’s treatment as first lady. Here we have the definition of two successful Black Americans, one being elected into office and his spouse having her own list of accolades and skill.
Her resume was enough evidence to prove she embodied what Americans should want in a First Lady. A lawyer, with a degree from Havard Law and Princeton University, a public servant, mother and coming from a working class family.
And yet, she was dragged, dissected, demeaned. Her tone
was policed. Her womanhood and femininity were placed into question. Her presence (despite being everything the country claimed to admire) was still too much for many. Even perfection, it seemed, was not enough to protect her from the racist and sexist gaze.
This message lives in our bones, not just as pressure, but as preparation. And yet, it is exhausting. It is exhausting to constantly outrun a system designed to erase your presence, let alone your brilliance. It is exhausting to never be allowed to just be: average, tired, slow, unsure. To not rest without guilt. To not pause without fearing you are falling behind. This is what we inherit. We are raised to outrun erasure. To shine so brightly that we cannot be ignored, even as we know that brilliance alone will not guarantee safety, love, or rest.
This is not just about individual ambition, it is political. Rest, for Black women and Black communities, is a radical act. It interrupts the cycles of exploitation and invisibility. It challenges the myths of invincibility we’ve been forced to embody. And in choosing to
rest, we are not just reclaiming our time, we are reclaiming our humanity.
Rest, for Black women and Black communities, is a radical act. It is resistance. It is a refusal. It is choosing to interrupt the cycles of exploitation and hypervisibility that this country depends on. Rest challenges the myth that we must always be strong, always be working, always be “on.”
In choosing rest, we are not giving up, we are reclaiming. Reclaiming time.
Reclaiming breath.
Reclaiming our right to be fully human.
