Becky Mollenkamp and Taina Brown explore what it means to move from reactivity to proactive dreaming in business and life. They unpack how a feminist future isn't just a dream—it's a practical framework rooted in collective care, somatic awareness, and justice-based entrepreneurship.

They weave in the wisdom of Black and Indigenous feminists like bell hooks, the Combahee River Collective, Audre Lorde, and Paula Gunn Allen. This episode is for liberation-minded founders who are tired of toxic "abundance mindset" advice that ignores class, and who want to explore equity-based business practices that reflect their values.
