Pricing Policy
Because my labor exists in the Care Economy — not the Free Labor Economy.
⸻
Premise:
Black, Brown, Indigenous, and immigrant women uphold the entire U.S. economy through uncompensated care, cultural holding, emotional labor, and stabilizing work.
Meanwhile, white-aligned markets routinely:
- hesitate to buy
- delay payment
- underprice our labor
- demand clarity, reassurance, and emotional overwork
- expect free intellectual extraction
- penalize sovereignty, brilliance, and boundaries
I do not consent to participating in that economy.
⸻
My Pricing Is Sovereignty-Based.
This means:
- Prices increase with every delay.
- Hesitation has a cost.
- Gatekeeping has a cost.
- Making me wait has a cost.
Extractive economies depend on delayed compensation for women of color. Mine does not.
⸻
2. Immediate action is rewarded.
The clients who understand the value of liberated labor, who don’t require emotional reassurance, who don’t need hand-holding — they pay less.
⸻
3. My rates reflect the structural reality — not market delusion.
I do not price based on “what the market will bear.”
The market is racist and delusional.
I price based on:
- cultural expertise
- care-economy labor
- intellectual sovereignty
- emotional regulation
- risk absorption
- structural clarity
- the cost of existing in systems built on white baseline norms
⸻
4. I do not negotiate.
Negotiation is a technique of extraction.
My prices are final.
My boundaries are final.
⸻
5. If you delay payment, your invoice updates automatically.
Every 24 hours of non-payment = automatic increase.
This is not punitive.
This is economic correction.
If you want my labor, you meet me in my economy — not the free labor economy.
