Decolonizing Business Systems: How Feminist Entrepreneurs Can Build with Integrity
Description
In this episode of Feminist Founders, Becky Mollenkamp and Faith Clarke break down what it really means to build systems in your business that align with your feminist, anti-capitalist, and anti-supremacist values. From automation overwhelm to resisting empire-thinking in tech tools, they unpack why most systems weren’t built for you—and how to challenge that by designing your own.
They explore:
- What systems actually are (spoiler: it's not just software!)
- Why most business tools are inherently rooted in patriarchal, capitalist values
- How to map systems from vision to implementation while centering care
- The difference between cobbled-together and bespoke
- What it means to decolonize your systems
- How to co-create processes that prioritize relationships over rigid efficiency
If you’ve ever felt like your business systems were “a mess” or wondered why nothing out there fits what you’re trying to build—you’re not broken. You’re trying to do things differently. This episode is your permission slip to keep doing just that.
