Ooooo awesome I learned that today! She was associated with Somka Genkai International, which has a reputation among some as dubious business practices. Tina publicly listed her daily affirmations and concentrations (meditations)
Some warning next time /s. I just smoked weed and thought this was standup comedy from the thumbnail and now I think I'm gonna stare at the wall and contemplate stuff for like ten straight minutes. Damn that was heavy truths
Not high, but I was also lured in thinking it was a standup routine. The bit about men transitioning to understand the bitch in them was pretty good though, I'm gonna try to remember that.
Save it and leave it on repeat. She's also on IG and YT to get more OC directly from her. I just share varied media diets and social science on this portfolio
... So like... Is she running for government anywhere? She'd get my vote. We need more people not just wanting to make positive change because it's the right thing to do. We need people wanting to make positive changes because they're angry at the injustice.
As a spoken word poet, that is indeed her craft. We also need for white men to champion these messages. White men have 90% of the power, 90% of the wealth, 90% of the votes (figuratively speaking). More people lend credence to institutionallh powered voices. Get loud.
What we need is white men to use their privilege to bring in/advance/promote diverse folks and suppot them wholeheartedly, and when it's their time to do so, retire/move aside to make room for the diverse folks. They need to use their platform to introduce, but then step back, be quiet, and listen to/follow what diverse folks are saying.
As a (barely) 1%'er white man, I'm doing what I can up here but shit man, there are a lot of entrenched interests. A lot of people who think they got here purely because they worked hard and earned it.

How exactly are you qualifying a 1%er? What does that mean to you? Because if its the same as mine i like this guys question. Why would you hoard money?
In terms of income, the top 1% line in Canada has been roughly my income, on average, for most of the last 10 years or so. (290k CAD, 210k USD)
But that doesn't mean I got a yacht. That doesn't mean I've got a million bucks in my bank account. My kid ain't going to private school. There's no expensive car in my garage. It just means I might be able to retire at 50 if I keep playing my cards right, and live pretty frugally after that.
No. That just a pretty decent income. You'll retire and live s nice life. But that's not what a 1%er is. Maybe A 1%er. But that is not the 1% the occupy movement was talking about.
Top 1% income doesn't necessarily mean top 1% wealth. Maybe they're an awful person and I'm clarifying unnecessarily, but they could also just be a surgeon in a high col area so their income happens to be quite high. They could spend a lot of that on causes they think will help, considering they specifically said they're doing what they can to help...
That's not a 1%er. That's a surgeon. If they have billions of dollars my question stands. My brother is a surgeon. I am an artist. Our father is the reason you're holding a smartphone that knows what you're thinking. He knows the 1%. I worked for them. Yacht and shit. Not a 1%er. Arguably still hoarding wealth but not 1%. I was a photojournalist for some well known publications during the occupy movement. I hit every major camp and lived at them for a time. If this guy is well off that's great.

Tbh more politicians need to adopt that platform to some degree
