A bit about our fundraiser

Anuradha here.

As I prepare for our 9th Anniversary for The Kowtha Constellation, I’ve got some asks to help me get ready. This whole ask is super difficult. I am usually in the role of helping and supporting others and chipping in where I can. Now I am in the position of needing many hands of support to raise my own barn, so to speak.

To be honest, my disabilities have made it tough to get all of the admin done and set up systems for The Kowtha Constellation so that I can meet the incredible opportunities in front of me. My friend Marissa Loewen encourages us to Create the Rules in our business. One incredibly harmful trope in business seems to be we have to provide real value in the world before we can get clients. In reality, this often overlooks the incredible extra hurdles some of us face and makes marginalized folks do much more uncompensated labour than they already are. I need to do it backwards right now. I need to receive and have my needs met first so that I can do the work that supports you—my community.

I was asked why I wanted to a fundraiser instead of just selling my services. And the answer to me was one word: COMMUNITY.

I have supported so many of you in my community. I have pitched in with advice, support, love, a shoulder, a quick favor, a heart-to-heart. In short, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all of you. And to really take The Kowtha Constellation to the next level, I need your help. The help of my community.

Marks 9 years in business and what a bumpy ride it has been. I have been reflecting on the lives touched, mine and those in my community, clients and friends alike. I have been reimagining the world and my place in it. And then I was reminded of the longevity of what I’m planning. That these decisions I’m making now, will most likely still be in play for the next 20 years or more.

I’m looking to fundraise a minimum of £5,000 to get the support that I need to reach the next level. I share a few ways you can support me below. Here is the hard truth - we need to do one or two things to help them be raised up. We can raise $$ to pay for support and/or we can find someone who is in a place to be paid backwards.

I’m so grateful to you all.
In Solidarity,
Anuradha
