This newsletter is taking a slight turn this year and will be more focussed on global issues, personal development and a bit of money and careers thoughts. Along with regular videos on YouTube, subscribing to this newsletter is a great way to support it and you will have my forever gratitude.
Hey pals,
It’s me again. I’m back from a little jaunt this week and wanted to delve into something meaty. It seems like things in the world are a little, well, bleak. And it feels more important than ever to not give up hope. I know for many of us who work in social change it’s hard not to get worn down by the system and so this week, I wanted to talk about something I’ve been really interested in for a long time.
I’ve long since harboured this belief that if policy focussed on tackling poverty - at least extreme poverty - perhaps we could find a long-term route to building a more equal world. It’s not a unique idea, there are hundreds of people around the world arguing similar reforms but for whatever reason, there still seems to be more growing inequality than not.
🪑 Been sat down too long? This little guide makes moving around feel a little bit better.
💰 This article about how a woman was scammed into giving her money to a stranger was all over the internet a couple of weeks ago but to be honest, I really feel for the author - such a terrible scam and really something anyone can fall prey to.
📖 The essays in the Delcaorte Review have been making me cry, laugh and feel like the bar for good writing just got wayyyyy higher. This piece on addiction was incredible.
Lots of love as always,
Amira
