Invest in Rest

We are investing in rest for BIPOC women. We believe in a world where rest and reflection are normalized, democratized, and celebrated, where all people can step outside of productivity to experience intentionality. When we invest in rest, BIPOC women are empowered to pause, be present, and create change.

Radical Reset is paying forward the power of rest for BIPOC women community changemakers who work tirelessly, give selflessly, and rarely take time for themselves. We are redistributing resources, funding weekends of rest and rejuvenation.

Support 1 Woman, Heal a Community

Every Radical Reset grantee will receive $1,000 and programmatic support to experience a weekend of rest. Every “Reset Weekend” is designed by the grantee, for the grantee. Radical Reset shares tools and programming to support self-reflection and intentionality, while honoring each woman’s individuality.

2021 Impact

In 2021, Radical Reset sponsored five BIPOC women changemakers to take a Reset Weekend. All reported bringing learnings back from their Reset Weekend to their personal and professional lives.

“[The Reset Weekend] helped me reflect on how much I've grown. I've gone from someone who doesn't feel worthy of opportunities and struggles with imposter syndrome to someone who is more confident. I see my radical reset as a continuation of my journey to maximize my self-worth.” - Andrea H, 2021 Participant

The Radical Reset Team

Radical Reset is a bootstrapped passion project that started as a seed of an idea in 2020. Tes Cohen and Sophia Romee have both been transformed by travel and received the joy and rejuvenation that intentional rest provides. Inspired by Audre Lorde’s directive that “rest is radical,” they decided to pay their experiences forward by sharing the restorative benefits of a Reset Weekend as an offering to BIPOC women leaders. In late 2021, they welcomed a third aligned and dedicated team member, Sasha Bannister, to lead external relations and community engagement.

Please note: Radical Reset is in the process of entity formation. We are operating as an informal conduit for community members who want to invest in BIPOC women changemakers. As we are not currently a 501c3, your gifts will not be tax deductible at this time.

We welcome pro bono support (graphic/web design, content creation, legal, etc) for those interested in providing non-monetary contributions. Please get in touch at helloradicalreset@gmail.com
