Reimagining
Financial Responsibility
A Pathway to Wealth Redistribution and Collective Healing
For White Wealth Holders
As a Black woman working with white people around wealth redistribution and collective healing, I often find myself holding space for histories that are not my own yet have profoundly shaped my life and the lives of my ancestors. This work is deeply personal for me, not because I created these systems, but because my community has lived with their harm for generations.
When I sit across from you—as you grapple with your whiteness, your wealth, your privilege, and your power—I see so much complexity in your eyes. There’s guilt, defensiveness, and often confusion. But more often than not, I also see possibility. The possibility that you can unlearn harmful narratives about money and responsibility. The possibility that you can release the myths you’ve been taught and step into a way of being that fosters healing—not just for those harmed by systems of inequality, but for you as well.
This is the heart of Reimagining Financial Responsibility. It’s not just about shifting wealth; it’s about healing. Healing the false divides created by whiteness and wealth. Healing the isolation and fear that these systems perpetuate. And reconnecting you to the truth: that you are part of the same ecosystem as everyone else. You don’t exist outside of the collective. Your liberation, like mine, is bound up in the well-being of the whole.
Understanding the Problem: Whiteness, Wealth, and the Lie of Separation
One of the first things I want you to understand is the lie you’ve been taught: the lie that whiteness and wealth make you different, separate, or outside of the collective.
Wealth in this country has never been neutral. For centuries, it has been accumulated by white families at the expense of Black, Indigenous, and other non-white communities. Enslaved Black people built the foundation of the economy, yet their descendants have been systematically excluded from the wealth they created. Policies like redlining, segregation, and unequal access in so many ways have kept wealth in white hands, perpetuating generational inequity.
Understanding this history isn’t about guilt—it’s about responsibility. It’s about seeing that your comfort didn’t appear out of nowhere. It was built within systems that harm people, communities, and the natural world. Believing that you exist outside of those systems isolates you from the truth of interdependence—and from the possibility of healing.
Whiteness and wealth have sold you a myth: that security comes from individualism, accumulation, and separation. But this separation is a falsehood. True security—true freedom—can only come from connection, equity, and shared well-being.
The Need for Liberatory Financial Responsibility
You’ve probably been taught that financial responsibility is about security: saving for the future, building wealth, and creating a legacy for your children. These goals are deeply ingrained, and I understand why they feel important. But when they’re paired with unexamined privilege, they uphold the very systems that harm others — and, ultimately, harm you, too.
Liberatory Financial Responsibility asks you to reimagine your relationship with wealth. It challenges the idea that financial success is an individual achievement and instead positions wealth as a collective resource — a resource tied to the health and justice of the entire ecosystem we share.
This approach isn’t about charity or giving from excess. It’s about recognizing the harm that wealth hoarding causes and redistributing resources in ways that repair and restore. It’s about stepping out of the lie of separation and back into the collective.
Healing The Lie of Separation
This work isn’t just for the benefit of Black and Brown communities or the planet — it’s healing for you, too. The lie of whiteness and wealth has taught you to believe you are separate, that your well-being can exist apart from others, and that the destruction of the Earth is a distant, impersonal consequence. But that lie creates isolation, fear, and scarcity, even in the midst of abundance.
By engaging in Liberatory Financial Responsibility, you have the chance to reconnect to the collective. You can move beyond the myths of individualism and scarcity and step into a deeper truth: That we are all interdependent. That true wealth is not in what you keep but in what you share. That the health of the planet is inseparable from the health of our communities.

One of the most important parts of this work is understanding what redistribution actually means—and how it differs from other financial ideologies or approaches to giving. Redistribution is not charity. It’s not traditional philanthropy. And it’s not about simply being generous.
Charity
Charity often stems from a desire to “help” those who are seen as less fortunate. It maintains a top-down dynamic where you hold power and determine what is given and to whom. Charity can address immediate needs, but it often reinforces the systems of inequality that created those needs in the first place.Philanthropy
Traditional philanthropy is often about preserving power while appearing to give it away. It focuses on control, with donors deciding how funds are used and maintaining a sense of ownership over the outcomes. Philanthropy rarely interrogates the systems that enabled wealth accumulation in the first place and often perpetuates the concentration of resources in the hands of a few.Redistribution
Redistribution is fundamentally different. It’s not about “helping” others or maintaining control. It’s about recognizing that wealth was never meant to be concentrated in the first place and taking intentional steps to move resources toward those who have been excluded from economic power.Redistribution is rooted in accountability, not benevolence. It requires you to confront how your wealth was accumulated and ask, What do I owe, and how can I contribute to justice? It shifts power by centering the voices and leadership of those most impacted by inequality—Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, as well as communities working for environmental justice.
By redistributing wealth, you are not “helping” others; you are participating in a collective process of healing and liberation. You are choosing to dismantle the systems that harm everyone, including you, and investing in a world where resources flow freely and equitably.
What Redistribution Looks Like
Start reflecting deeply on your relationship to money:
Where did it come from?
What systems allowed it to grow?
How can it be used differently to create justice and healing—for people and the planet?
Redistribution can take many forms, including:
Giving directly to Black-led organizations and movements that are building systems of liberation and justice.
Supporting mutual aid networks that prioritize the needs of communities most impacted by inequality.
Investing in Black- and Indigenous-owned businesses and initiatives that center sustainability and community well-being.
Funding environmental justice efforts, particularly those led by Indigenous communities who have long been stewards of the land.
Rethinking family wealth practices, such as inheritance, and exploring how these resources can be used to support communal and planetary healing.
Redistribution isn’t just about moving money. It’s about shifting power. It’s about challenging the systems that keep wealth concentrated and stepping into accountability for the harm those systems cause. -

An Invitation and a Choice
This work isn’t easy. It asks you to confront deeply held beliefs about what you’ve earned versus what you’ve inherited—both literally and figuratively. It asks you to sit with discomfort, to unlearn the narratives of separation, and to move forward with integrity.
But I want you to know this: the discomfort is worth it. Because on the other side is healing. Not just for Black and Brown communities, not just for the natural world, but for you, too. Healing from the isolation and fear that wealth and whiteness have perpetuated. Healing from the disconnection that harms us all.
Reimagining Financial Responsibility is an invitation for you to step into a new way of being. To align your resources with your values. To contribute to justice, healing, and liberation for everyone—including yourself and your lineage.
If you’re ready to move through the discomfort, to reimagine your relationship with money, and to rediscover your place in the collective, I’m here to guide you. The journey begins here. Let’s do this work together.
Reimagining Financial Responsibility: The Circle

This is personal work, grounded in honesty and a willingness to move beyond performative gestures. The Circle is for those who are ready to face the hard truths about how wealth operates in our society and to reimagine their role in dismantling systems of oppression through redistribution.
