1 Year Anniversary: Who's Behind CJ?
Description
In this special 1 year anniversary episode, Cooperative Journal's host - Ebony Joy finally opens up to share their personal story.
I explain what inspired me to start this form of storytelling, why I've shifted from the language of "alternative economics", expanding into a multimedia/multi-sensory platform, and why this is an opportune times for collectivized economic solutions.
My friend/collaborator Robin also joins me in the later half of the episode to share a bit about themself. They've been central in the recent reinvisioining process and is the visual strategist/artist at Cooperative Journal Media.
