      <itunes:summary>In this episode, we vent about how capitalism got us fucked up and how we’re freeing the bag anyway. We talk about our relationship with bootstrap mentality and if working hard will move most Black people up the social ladder.  Also, Ysanet puts us on to some new vocabulary with Personal Financial Bypassing. And lastly, if you’re like us and have struggled to find a budget that allows you to bring all of you, we share two different new and afrofuturistic budgeting practices that we’re queering/tweaking to allow us to be more free individually and with our people.</itunes:summary>

        <![CDATA[<p>Juneteenth is a holiday that celebrates Black freedom including the concept of black people freeing themselves (sorry, not sorry white saviors). In this episode, we draw from the energy of our ancestors to address the following points:</p><ol><li>In what ways are we freeing ourselves now as it relates our relationships with money and time trauma.</li><li>We discuss how our economy (i.e. credit) was created and continues to uphold racism</li><li>We share how we’ve pushed back against the individualistic ways (aka pull yourself from your bootstraps) that dismiss how 400 years of antiblackness has impacted our ability to  secure the bag</li><li>We share how we’re being afrofuturistic/experimental in our approach to freeing the bag collectively, the ways our ancestors taught us to get free</li></ol>

      <itunes:summary>For many of us, we realize it’s impossible to have financial independence through the white supremacist personal finance model, which sometimes black people also share and profit from. Understanding that as Black people, most of us can’t ever have enough money and time independently and ethically, our path to freeing the bag must include depending on each other AND creating a new system to survive and thrive.</itunes:summary>
