Have you ever felt like rejecting capitalism was keeping you broke? Like your activism was being celebrated—but never compensated?
What if the way we resist capitalism isn't actually helping us create change... but instead keeping us disempowered?
In this no-holds-barred episode of Your Art is a Spell, we dive deep into what I call "punk damage"—the internalized belief that making money equals selling out—and how to heal from it without compromising your values.
Tune in to discover:
💸 Why broke activism often reinforces privilege (and who can actually afford to work for free)
📉 How systemic oppression keeps LGBTQ+, Latinx, and marginalized activists financially vulnerable
🧾 The false binary between "pure but broke" and "successful but sellout"
🔮 Why having more resources can help you give more impact
🔥 How to build financial resilience while staying true to your values
⚔️ Mindset shifts to transform from burned-out activist to resourced visionary
Did you know LGBTQ+ Latinx women earn only 72 cents to every dollar a non-Latinx woman earns? Or that trans women earn just 60 cents on that dollar?
These aren't isolated statistics—they're symptoms of a system built to keep certain people disempowered, made worse when we internalize the belief that financial stability means compromising integrity.
This episode reveals how "punk damage" accidentally serves the status quo, why sustainable activism requires resources, and the practical steps you can take to reclaim your financial power—on your terms.
Whether you're squatting in abandoned buildings or working in nonprofits, this is your invitation to treat financial stability as part of your liberation toolkit.
