Money - Save Me From Hate! My relationship with money has always been... a journey. But what if we lived in a world where money didn't exist, and where humanity was enabled to thrive without conforming to colonized ways of being and thinking? In many ways, money has been co-opted for dark agendas, affecting the collective consciousness as minority interests are elevated above all else. In my own life, I often approached the idea of having money as being an automatic opt-out from experiencing hate in a racially charged world.
