My DREAM is that everyone on this podcast gets paid - not only me and amazing producer, Rogue Spirit Podcasting, but also my guests.
Most of the people I speak with experience systematic oppression and give their time for free.
Yet I truly don’t believe that we can have true inclusion without money. Too much change-making happens at the expense of the change-maker.
With your help, I can make this dream a reality.
Becoming a monthly supporter will unlock bonus episodes about how I create the music for each guest.
