Transitioning into a Career Decentering
The companies I’ve shared my time & skills with have exclusively been organizations that reflect my deeply held values, and where I am satisfied with the meaningful work I engage in; managing healthcare education programs, expanding access to healthcare through global telemedicine projects, advocating for & creating systems of support for society’s most vulnerable, providing clinical therapy to perpetrators of sexual assault, delivering psychoeducation for parents of children who’d been sexually assaulted, strengthening tribal community wellbeing with social services, increasing funding for literacy programs, etc. Simultaneously, I have long practiced the decentering of my career. For a little over a decade it’s been important for my work to be integrated into a fruitful personal life, rather than building a life around my work.
Many thanks to those who value my efficiency & accomplishments over the time I spend at a desk!
Still, I sense the need to take yet another sequential step in this practice, and will reorient The Braided Strategist toward that which really matters: the liberation struggle.
The same product & services will still be offered by The Braided Strategist, but the articles will predominantly amplify anti-capitalist, and anti-colonialism ideologies, all of which have transferable relevance to, and application in, the business world. While the article topics will make this aforementioned shift, the persuasion of The Braided Strategist’s work has always been founded on abolitionist anarchist ideologies.
