List of Services
Public Finance
“All reaction is limited by, and dependent on, what it is reacting against.”
Research & Analysis
“In trying to become 'objective,' Western culture made 'objects' of things and people when it distanced itself from them, thereby losing 'touch' with them.”
Outreach & Advocacy
“To survive the Borderlands you must live sin fronteras be a crossroad.”
“Like all people, we perceive the version of reality that our culture communicates. Like others having or living in more than one culture, we get multiple, often opposing messages. The coming together of two self-consistent but habitually incomparable frames of reference causes un choque, a cultural collision.”
Why I Serve
Homegurl Politix works with the public sector, non-profits, and private organizations to provide a range of services including but not limited to public finance assistance, research and analysis, community outreach, and storytelling. The business was created to merge academia and advocacy to the dynamic world of public service and governing. I believe society's "wicked problems" can only be tackled with careful recognition of the interdependent intersections that lay the foundation of our complex public issues.
In our current governing environment, objectively right or wrong answers to our most pressing public problems no longer exist and maybe never existed. Instead, the nature of governing requires judgment calls that will create short and long term impacts that will be subject to evaluation in the political sphere. In a world of shifting values and a globalized reality, our communities need rigorous assessment of policy decisions because the implications are more significant and far-reaching than ever before.
Our quickly evolving world demands a reexamination of our traditional ways of governing. This is why I believe our governing solutions must be "reflexive" and creative to handle today's most critical public dilemmas. Here at Homegurl Politix, I do precisely that through public finance, research and analysis, outreach and advocacy, and storytelling.
About Homegurl Politix LLC
Homegurl Politix LLC is an ode to Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands. I believe politics always hits at home, hence the 'home' in homegurl. Politics has gendered impacts, and the 'gurl' in home is a celebration of the womxn in our lives that have survived patriarchal societal arrangements and a reminder of the work that remains to reach gender parity across all genders. Politix is a gender-neutral term that reminds us politics and governing requires intersectional and holistic approaches. Homegurl Politix is the recognition that traditional ways of governing must be replaced with critical and fluid modes of sustainable governing that places importance on shifting values, civil rights, human rights, and environmental justice equally.
