Unwoke Reflections Week 30, July 23-29
Supporter perks are at the bottom of the newsletter. Support my work to join us for private, unrecorded zoom calls, and movie night!
If you value my work, please consider a $5/month or $50/year subscription. I’m funded entirely by you.
I will be raising subscription prices to $8/month or $80/year at the end of July, but if you join now you’ll be grandfathered into current pricing.
If you can’t financially support my efforts, please consider sharing my work with your friends and family to spread the message. I can’t do it without you.
