pockets of safety

listen now!

Feeling braced or on edge today? Join Ama-Robin in Umoja Café for a gentle Espresso Talk about pockets of safety—those small moments where the body can exhale and the nervous system can settle.

Through a short folktale and real-life reflections as a Black woman living in predominantly white spaces, this episode explores how safety is felt, why it matters, and how noticing it becomes the first step toward imagining a way of living with dignity.

YAIT also includes We Ain’t Imagining This! (WAIT!): the collective and activist arm of the project—focused on imagination, care, and counter-world building beyond the podcast. Comforting, restorative merch is also coming soon!

The YAIT Town community is growing on SKOOL, offering a shared space for reflection, conversation, and practicing these ideas together.

The YAIT website hosts additional experiences, including written reflections, rituals, story extensions, and resources designed to deepen rest, imagination, and connection.

Listen while walking, resting, or taking a pause between everything else.

YAIT Town is here for you.

Come as you are. Take what you need.

And remember—you ain’t imagining this!
