Thread: friends, for 4 yrs I've been preaching the gospel of #decolonization, #wealth redistribution & healing in the space of #philanthropy & beyond. Has it been effective? Yeah - we (@DecolonizWealth) redistributed and influenced > $500M to BIPOC communities last yr. @DecolonizWealth Now, I'm seeing our work begin to influence the distribution of resources/money globally - in the humanitarian aid space. This is exciting, but also a HEAVY lift. The colonial dynamics at play in this space are deep and pervasive.

This as a start. There are critiques about this option versus foundations dipping into their endowments, which signals a priority on maintaining wealth versus truly supporting communities. nytimes.com/2020/06/10/bus… This effort is a start but there are more radical possibilities. Liberate the capital - liberate not reallocate. #DecolonizingWealth #LiberatedCapital
