Money and Me (Diana)
My Origin Story
As the eldest daughter of immigrant parents, I hold the blessings and the burdens of my lineage. When it comes to finances, my inheritance has been humility, gratitude, generosity, the importance of security (saving) and independence. I have also had to carry the weight of financial stress, worry, doubt, scarcity, an ancestral fear of loss.
Money Healing
I am a wholistic healer. I believe in the importance of integrating the mind, body, heart and spirit when it comes to our finances. I understand that money is energy, a tool, and a strategy for getting our individual and collective needs met. Therefore we must be in right relationship with it.
Money Philosophy
I believe that we come from abundant ancestors, collectives, lands, medicines, and tradition. A long line of innovators, survivors and resistors, who created value, saw opportunity in themselves and their skills, and witnessed themselves reflected in the abundance of the natural world. People who saved seeds and planted beautiful gardens for their descendants.
Money Ethics
I am guided by the abundance of Mother Nature who provides generously for us all.
I am led by the collectivist values of my ancestors.
I am invested in social justice, redistribution, reparations, and Land Back.
I renounce “Imperialist White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy” - bell hooks
I reject this country’s values of self-interest, individualism, scarcity and exploitation.
