Extractive Capitalism Is Collapsing: The Generative Economy Has Entered the Chat
We are the visionaries, the early adopters, the system-refusers who know collapse is not the end. It is the invitation. Trickle-down, Reagan-inspired, neo-liberal money is dead. Versions of collaborative currency are what comes next. When women have what we need, everyone wins.
I've been interviewing women in business since 2017, and spent the last five years building the safest place on the internet for women. Extractive capitalism is collapsing mathematically. Women-led businesses are already building what comes next. That is not hope. That is the data.
Gender and Culturally-Responsive Coaching
Will big tech ever get the point of what diverse data really is? TBH, I’m not so sure. As founder of Business 4 Good, I write on culturally-responsive coaching, collective power, and building #Tequity, technology that amplifies human brilliance instead of replacing it.
I write as a multicultural, first-gen college grad and Spanish Jewish woman. I've learned what it's like to move through spaces that weren't built for us. I also know the impact of being seen without needing to explain who you are first. Identity is not a complication. It is power. And when women from undervalued communities are not just using tech but shaping it, we don't just close the gap. We rewrite the rules entirely.
When Leadership Gets Real: What I Learned From a Very Rough Chapter of My Life
I was hired unanimously to lead a regional Innovation Hub with collaboration and equity at the center. I did not walk in to keep the lights on.
I walked in to build something new. Here is what happened when intention met execution.
I stayed in the work long after it got hard. I continue to seek guidance from mentors, board members and even HR.
I always try to create space for hard conversations. I like to think I tried everything to make this JOB work. Eventually, the staffer left. So did I. Here is what I learned, and why I keep building Business 4 Good!
