Beautiful Solutions Co-Creator
The Beautiful Solutions book is coming in 2024!
Resistance is essential, but it’s not enough. As we fight the injustice around us, we also have to imagine — and create — the world we want. We have to build real alternatives in the here and now — alternatives that are not only living proof that things can be done differently, but that actively challenge, and eventually supplant, the power of the status quo. Beautiful Solutions is an online platform, book, and training program that disseminates the most promising and contagious strategies for doing just that.
Beautiful Solutions is a partnership of Beautiful Trouble, New Economy Coalition, Highlander Center, and PeoplesHub.

MAPPING OUR FUTURES, Trainer and Curriculum Development Partner
Through my work with Beautiful Solutions and PeoplesHub, I am a co-creator of this curriculum, which explores our economic and governance systems through a participatory community-based process to create knowledge and share solutions that foster community, equity and healthy communities. The curriculum also features original hand-drawn graphics that I drew in thought partnership with Elandria Williams.

SOLIDARITY ECONOMY PRINCIPLES, Initial Co-Convener
This work is a loving response to the urgent need for greater cooperation, education, and self-governance in Solidarity Economy (SE) and co-operative organizing at all levels. SE organizing, whether it is within a single group or a federation of groups, is developed through study, reflection, and practice. If you are involved in SE organizing at any level the principles and practices are for you.
Our movements for freedom thrive when we share and develop knowledge together. We learn from what we have in common, and we learn just as much from our differences. We value deep study, and we honor what we have observed and experienced ourselves. This work is meant to support all of us in learning rooted in practice, no matter how new or how experienced, in the craft of making solidarity economies possible.
