Economic Empowerment through Real Estate: One Man’s Vision for an Equitable Dallas
The past 3 months have drastically shifted our communities. We are unearthing the realities of deeply established systems that have not been supporting everyone, and are coming up against the sharp changes that meet us in a modern world that is diminishing the distance between nature and people. While so much pain has been caused between economic downfalls and pervasive social injustice, we feel optimistic. We have seen people rally to action and achieve small wins that have brought our community the hope needed to persevere.

This pairing of work to ensure we are taking the right course of action is the very reason behind my choice to host a back-to-back feature for our book club this month: Eula Biss’ Having and Being Had, and Cristina Rivera Garza’s Grieving.

Keeping Clean, Accountability for Everyday Cleanliness to Tackling COVID
When COVID hit, we are happy to say the last thing we were worried about is the health of our space!

Working alongside Green Architects GGOArchitects + Green Consultants, Sustainable Concepts + Go Well Consulting, we have defined the following focuses to ensure our space stays clean no matter what + extra precautions we are taking now to keep COVID at bay in our thriving community.

You Can Quote Me On That : Raising Women’s Voices
So what can we do to address this alarming absence of female, people of color and LGBTQ quotes, media representation, speaking opportunities, and news sources? One simple way to make progress is for people who use their voices in big and small ways in their own businesses, social media, etc. to not just pay attention to the problem, but to be intentional about capturing and echoing the voices of those who aren’t at the table as often, and when in positions of power, invite them to the table.
Making Work Work For You
Thinking about your physical, emotional, and mental health is equally important as focusing on the growth of your company. Especially as a freelancer or leader, your health is in almost direct correlation to your company’s health.
