How do you show up in your business as a femme of color? We have been socialized to interact in business in a certain way and sometimes that means we bring the corporate bullshit with us. On today’s show I bring growth and impact strategist Toi Smith on to talk about the capitalist structure, holding space for black women and mothers, and the long game of seeing change for our communities. 

We dive into:

• Being a black woman and single mother in business
• How Toi stays optimistic with the understanding that change is a long game
• The development and divine timing of her community, Business for the People
• Why being in business does not have to mean you are a capitalist
• How the online business formula created by white men can be very triggering for folks of color
• Why Toi believes balance in life and business is an illusion
• The romanticism of community and why it takes work to create a safe space
• Distinguishing your financial needs and releasing shame around the desire for money
• And more!
