Matters of Policy & Principle

A passionate articulation of values guiding personal and business relationships, this manifesto explains how aligning resources with like-minded individuals creates more love in the world. The author transparently shares their principles to ensure accountability, provide clarity to visitors, and strengthen authentic connections.

Is It Important to Stand for Something?

I explore why standing against injustice isn't enough in my journey toward healing and connection. Discover why naming what you're FOR is crucial—and surprisingly difficult—when fighting systemic oppression. I also share why our language lacks positive alternatives and how this principle transforms both personal growth and business success.

I Believe in Working at the Heart of Issues

You want to tear down the system? I'm with you. But here's the million-dollar question: What rises from the ashes? Dismantling isn't enough, my friends. We need a revolution of the heart. Love. Kindness. Curiosity. These aren't soft - they're nuclear. Ready to build a world that's more than just 'same shit, different clothes'?

more love, not less - all-ways.💜™
