“Rewriting the Story of Poverty.”

 On this Thanksgiving Day 2025, as gratitude fills our homes, we must face a truth we often avoid:

Poverty is not seasonal. It’s not glamorous. It is both visible and silent—enslaving individuals and communities, robbing potential and imprisoning creativity.

Poverty has a historiography—a story shaped by policies, prejudice, and systems. It has been protected by hegemony, the dominance of a narrative that tells us poverty is inevitable, natural, or deserved.

But today, I stand to say: poverty is neither destiny nor divine design. Poverty is a disease—and diseases can be cured.

My voice rises from unknown quarters, but that is where every true movement begins. And I speak to benefactors, philanthropists, and generous hearts across the world: hear this call. Not for charity, but for partnership. Not for pity, but for purpose.

Let Thanksgiving awaken us. Let gratitude become responsibility. Let compassion become strategy.

The Poverty Cured Movement is rewriting the story—replacing despair with design, scarcity with solutions, and silence with collective action.

Because the truth remains:

Poverty is not our future. Together, we will cure it.
