POETIC PRAXIS

A large part of my work in the arts and education is a belief that this work is co-created and done together. I commit to working with and alongside you/your team to tailor all offerings and work collaboratively with integrity and through relationality. I value just, equitable and sustainable pricing through versatility and flexibility when it comes to rates and compensation. I want some of you to know I am all for the exchange of goods as there is a place and time for unique mutual agreements - mothers and aunties have taught me this art form well (more resources from Ride Free Fearless Money - Real talk on personal finance, relating to money, and progressive economics).
