I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the Madeleine Albright quote; ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That being said, when I’m really annoyed or triggered by someone else’s behaviour – when it really pushes my buttons – I’m not operating from the fullness of my power. So, after noticing the resistance, I remind myself to turn within. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I ask the question; What good girl behaviour am I imposing on other women? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘Good feminists’ are just as trapped in good girl conditioning as good mothers, good daughters and good friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the ways feminism eats itself from within from time to time, is by not allowing a multiplicity of voices and forms of expression. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That why we're committed at the School of Visibility to raising the voices of all who identify as women. Either all intersecting systems of oppression are broken down simultaneously or none are.

To the silent white majority who would never consider themselves to be racist; it’s time to speak up against the injustices of the world. Silence is complicity.

Too often white people say silent in the face of racism.
Afraid of saying the wrong thing.
In those moments, it’s so important that you remember this one thing; your silence perpetuates the status quo.
And the status quo in the US is one where black men are still being lynched because they’re black.
So here’s a way you can speak up against that; share the words of a person of colour.
Amplify their voice.
You do not need to have all the answers or always know what to say.
You simply need to use the space you occupy differently.
By filling it with the voices and perspectives of people of colour.
And if you’re reading this and thinking ‘Well that’s about the US and isn’t happening here’, think again. Racism and white supremacy function globally. The particulars might look different but the results are always the same; disrespect, diminishment, dehumanisation, death.

How will you know when you're done with visibility

How will you know when you're done with visibility block clearing?

Is your visibility affecting the revenue your busi

Is your visibility affecting the revenue your business is making? Undoubtedly yes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2017 ConvertKit ran an industry wide survey on the State of Blogging and found that there is a profit gap of 61% for female bloggers, which is three times worse than the full-time worker gender pay gap of 20% as reported in 2015.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
61%. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's how this is related to visibility. Unlike a traditional career where you can get away with being visible to a smaller group of people and still have a hope of being promoted and financially rewarded, you have to be visible to make money in business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have to promote your work. You have to make offers. You have to launch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without sales your business will not last. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
61% is a huge gap and it's not happening because men offer better products or services than women. They don't. It's happening because more women are hiding out, whispering about their launches, quietly hoping people will buy from them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a mother I'll be horrified if this is still the statistic when my daughter tells me she's about to start her first business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a feminist act to be visible, to promote your work, to let people see how amazing you and your business really are.
