Economic Empowerment through Real Estate: One Man’s Vision for an Equitable Dallas
The past 3 months have drastically shifted our communities. We are unearthing the realities of deeply established systems that have not been supporting everyone, and are coming up against the sharp changes that meet us in a modern world that is diminishing the distance between nature and people. While so much pain has been caused between economic downfalls and pervasive social injustice, we feel optimistic. We have seen people rally to action and achieve small wins that have brought our community the hope needed to persevere.

One simple way to make progress is for people who use their voices in big and small ways in their own businesses, social media, etc. to not just pay attention to the problem, but to be intentional about capturing and echoing the voices of those who aren’t at the table as often, and when in positions of power, invite them to the table.

Now, I with long-term sustainability as my key focus, I’ve discovered ways to self-preserve so that can help you work smarter, not harder, and avoid crashing and burning.
