EP 08: Chiquita Brujita – Privilege, Spreading Joy, and Building A Community-Driven Business

The people we regularly spend time with and the media that we
consume no doubt influences our perception of the world. And when
we follow a narrow set of people and news outlets, our default
perspective is skewed.


 


So now is the time to question: how do these people,
perspectives, and media limit me? How do they affect my decision
making? How do they hold me and my business back?


 


It’s also the time to break out of our bubble to seek out more
diverse opinions, perspectives, and approaches—not just because
it’s good for business but because it’s the right thing to do.


 


And that might just be your next step in showing your business
who’s boss.


 


That’s why I wanted to bring on one of my oldest college friends
on the podcast. Chiquita Brujita is the owner of Brooklyn
Brujeria which, at its core, is built around supporting the arts
and building community. She is a woman who shows UP as a total
boss in whatever situation she’s in.


 


Tune into this episode to hear:


How to build a business where the purpose is spreading joy,
and the profit is measured by how much it supports growth in the
arts

How to support people who are just waking up to the concept
of privilege, and how we both agree and disagree on how to handle
that

What going to the extremely politically correct Wesleyan
University did to both of our perspectives on the world

And how empowered I feel right now and why I feel a lot of
shame, and not for the reason you might think
