You get to try to thrive. You deserve to get what You get to try to thrive. You deserve to get what you need to survive.

Hating on how someone else survives tough times and an inhumane system is not tolerated here. In a system that doesn't give most of us options to work or not, figuring out how to have, handle, and heal your relationship to money is complex. It'll never be "perfect" - whatever that means - because there's always an element of blurry consent to our lives when it comes to money. 

I don't need you to be perfect, I need you to self-preserve, to paraphrase Audre Lorde. Your light and what you'll do with it are too precious to lose.
This week I taught Social Impact entrepreneurs fin This week I taught Social Impact entrepreneurs financial frameworks at the USC’s Innovation Lab again this week - this concept map is where we started the conversation.

$15/hr minimum wage y'all. Economic justice is pa $15/hr minimum wage y'all.  Economic justice is part of racial justice. And making a more livable life for all.

"According to research by The Century Foundation, bringing the nationwide hourly base wage to $15 by 2023 would free 1.2 million households from hunger. The households who would achieve food security—the ability to consistently meet basic nutritional needs—mirror the demographics of the low-wage workforce as a whole: about 44 percent, or half a million, would be black and Latinx households, and nearly 350,000 would be single-parent households who suffer disproportionately from hunger. Regionally, the greatest impact on hunger will be in southern states, where approximately 430,000 households will become food secure, representing 37 percent of households that would achieve food security."

With gratitude to Dr. King for his leadership and  inspiration. #mlkday  #economicjustice

My wee pod and I hit up an off season beach town. It was underpopulated and the takeout was fantastic. I had a porch for a few days and saw wild ponies in the wild. Highly recommend.

Damien shares my values of social justice, and helped me to figure out fair, ethical ways to relate to money.” -- DARA B, education consultant, dareconsulting.com

“As a chronically ill femme of color artist living the freelance life, money is often a source of fear and uncertainty for me. I took Damien’s class and was blown away by her clarity and sensitivity. How amazing to learn about money with someone who is so anchored in social justice! She created a warm, inclusive environment; was on-point about intersectionality, and shared incredibly useful tools and tips. I never thought that discussing money could be so fun, and I left the class feeling a new sense of hope and possibility.” -- ANONYMOUS, Freelance artist

“I feel more calm about money after this. I’m shocked. I realized that I don’t have to use the same symbols and judgements that everyone else seems to use when they talk about this stuff. That’s really powerful.” - BEVIN B., blogger & lawyer queerfatfemme.com
