And its hard to notice by design. But once you notice it, everything changes.

And that's why community and connection is so important. At the end of the day, your job will not save you from the dystopia we're in. Only community, and our common humanity, can do that.

Marx talked about how capitalism alienates us from ourselves, our community and our environment.

Capitalism distances us from the things that really matter and then leads us to identify so strongly with our work, makes us think our job titles are so important, that we forget to be human.

How you handle and reveal (or don’t) your own abuse is up to you.

But if you know about others being harmed and keep that to yourself, that makes you complicit.

Equity is a reaction to systemic barriers. We can’t stop there; we have to remove the barriers altogether. #spiritchat

Happy Norooz #spiritchat. May this be the year of peace for all of us.

So grateful for you ♥️

Grateful for @norarahimian.bsky.social + @culturefixglobal.bsky.social!

I love when graffiti artists build on each others work. Although surprised that this one stayed up long enough for this to happen. Collectors will often try to take entire walls down to commercialize a piece.

The decision that Dolores Huerta, and so many other movement women, made is so relatable and so heartbreaking.

- the role of lawyers in boycotts & strikes
- misconceptions about anticapitalism
- why branding has to be more than just cool photos if you want to genuinely connect with your audience

Schedule your session today. I'd love to chat! calendly.com/norarahimian...

I've been offering free, 20-minute consults as a Norooz gift. So far, my convos have covered:

- perfectionism as a while, colonial construct
- how entrepreneurship doesn't have to be all or nothing
- The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and how pop culture shapes our understanding of domestic violence

Revealing Banksy’s identity against his consent so the value of his art, which he never intended for private ownership, could go up is the most capitalist thing ever.

You don't hate Mondays, you hate capitalism.

Yes.

And also: capitalism has conditioned us to always want more and bigger, and maybe we don’t need or want that. Maybe success is saying I want less.

Either way, can’t do it alone.

People will ask, “Do you need to talk?”

No. What I really need is to be heard. To be received. Seen.

The invitation is easy, but can you hold the space?
