When Half is Whole: Mixed People Weekly Conference Call

Hi beautiful mixed ppl!

I was talking to some other mixed folks a few weeks ago, and we realized how few outlets there are for us to just talk and vent about the struggles of being a mixed person of color in this world, other than this blog and maybe once a year at a conference or something.

We decided that it would be helpful to have a standing weekly phone check-in/healing space for mixed folx all over the country to know that they can share what they’re going through. So, we’re doing it.

The call is every Tuesday 6pm PST/9pm EST. It’s a space for people to call in, be vulnerable, listen, ask questions, and share experiences. Attendance is never mandatory, and the facilitators rotate each week.

Here’s how to join: http://bit.ly/29Tp1rn

solidarity amongst people of color is nothing more than an useless fallacy as long as antiblack sentiments take residence in non black communities

My mom stopped using them in 2002 and I’m glad we’ve never gone back. They are a horrible bank and institution overall

For the anti-Black crowd forever parroting that Black people don’t ever try to do for self economically. When we do this is what happens

Let me tell to you a thing real quick:

I worked for Wells Fargo for a little while. While working there they were a sales driven bank. All they cared about were ‘solutions’. Which basically means getting people to open new accounts, start a new line of credit that kind of bullshit. Now for most people, a checking, savings and maybe a credit card is all you want or need.

What they trained us to do was to convince poor people to open a separate checking and savings account. As many ass possible. And they would be ‘free’ so long as you met certain criteria. Those being things like a certain amount of transactions, minimum balances or transfers. Easy stuff.

But the criteria are set to change every 12 months or so depending on the accounts. Now Wells Fargo would open hundreds of thousands of these accounts a year. So every 12 months hundreds of thousands of people would just start having 8 or 10 or 12 dollar fees coming out of their accounts with no explanation. Now, some people are able to come in and meet with a banker after waiting in a lobby for a few hours. But not everyone. And absolutely NO ONE is informed that their account will not be free forever.

So basically, Wells Fargo is lying to their customers and intentionally stealing their money.

The worst part is that generally the people with these kinds of fees being assessed are the people where if a random 12 dollar fee comes out at the wrong time, you end up in overdraft land. Once you’re there, you basically stay there. They charge 34 bucks per charge over your balance. So if you have 20 bucks, spend 5 on gas, 10 on lunch and dinner and then buy milk on the way home and had no idea a random 12 dollar charge was coming out you’re out 100 bucks.

And it’s all 100 % legal.

Fuck Wells Fargo.

The tracks on this playlist contain themes that are prevalent in the black experience—especially for girls on the brink of young womanhood. They are about overcoming stereotypes, being comfortable with your identity, being in command of your sexuality, and remaining tenaciously confident in your abilities in a white, male-dominated society. For me personally, this mix can be a place of refuge from the pervasive racist messages that bombard me in my daily life; where I can ensconce myself in a world of fantasy, imagination, and joy. So when adversity comes knocking, I don’t run from it. I have the self-assurance to smile boldly in its face. I hope this playlist serves as a catalyst to help other black girls do the same. —Kennedy Freeman
