We don’t play about our money. And in this business, we don’t have the luxury to, especially when we’re part of historically excluded groups. As an artist, it’s important that we cultivate a healthy relationship with money and to ensure that our money is working for us. In this episode, Felicia, Dria, and Georgette cut up about having multiple streams of income as freelancers (cause this business will try to play in your face), not having any job be our master, and what financial freedom looks like for us. Hint: Looks a lot like creating forever, but not having to for money. Oh and retiring on some beautiful island.
