We must heal ourselves by each taking responsibility for our part in creating or maintaining the colonial virus. We must identify and reject the colonized aspects of our culture and our institutions so that we can heal. In healing we eradicate the colonizer virus from society: instead of divide, control, exploit, we embrace a new paradigm of connect, relate, belong. #decolonizingwealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwo7DTglQYg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=53t1u4am0grc

Matt via Instagram: "This past weekend @weinspirejusticehad the honor of co-hosting 'The Power to Give' alongside @decolonizingwealth. The powerful conversation between myself and @villanuevaedgarwas only matched by @daynalynnenorth energy and facilitation. Humanity and the planet are depending on us having the conversations we had and committing ourselves longterm to repairing our societal relationship with money and supporting black, indigenous, and people of color led work. This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible work of my Co-CEO/co-founder/partna @jlovecalderon��and our entire team for showing up! A huge thank you to our clients @dawnlyen@favianna1 @sivaofficial @dayanaramarte@iamzoeflowers and our impact advisors @richiereseda @blackwomyn and special guest @jayrellis. I hope you'll join me in supporting Liberated Capital, a new fund supporting indigenous and POC-led initiatives, and grab your copy of #DecolonizingWealth to continue moving this conversation forward.

066/100 // reading @decolonizingwealth & the “How to Heal” section is so good. The tension with evolving has so much to do with dismantling a system that we rely on (@villanuevaedgar words on the next slide). Beautiful and inspiring. // #dismantlewhitesupremacy #100dayproject #100dayproject2020 #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2020 #berlynmakes100bodies #100days #art #sketchbook #sketchbookspread #illustration #doodleaday #decolonize https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUMbtEBcsF/?igshid=17nrozwoxvvc6

Matt on Instagram: “Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance” by Edgar Villanueva @villanuevaedgar@decolonizingwealth  # This book is definitely a must-read, particularly for those who are involved in philanthropy, non-profits, foundations, or charity work.  Villanueva gives real insights into the problematic aspects of philanthropy and how systems of oppression are often replicated through the processes of philanthropy by those who get to decide where the money goes and how it is used.  The unique aspect about this book, is the hope that Villanueva gives about money’s capacity to be used “as medicine” to heal communities and traumas, not just for the colonized and oppressed, but for the colonizers and those of privilege.  # One of the major problems with philanthropy is that it very rarely puts those who have experienced the oppression in charge of deciding where the funding goes.  Instead, it relies on people on the outside of those communities, to determine how they want to engage in the process of “helping.” # From the book, “My central argument is that what ails philanthropy at its core is colonialism.  Almost without exception, funder reinforce colonial division of Us vs Them, Haves vs Have Nots, and mostly white saviors and white experts vs *poor, needy, urban, disadvantaged, marginalized, at-risk people* (take your pick of euphemisms for people of color). That statistics speak for themselves: 92 percent of foundation CEOs are white, 89 percent of foundation boards are white, while only 7 to 8 percent of foundation funding goes specifically to people of color.  Philanthropy is the savior mentality in institutional form, which instead of helping- is ostentatiously proclaimed intent- actual further divides and destabilizes society.” (cont in commends section) # My Booklist: bit.ly/mcgread (link in bio)“
