I'm Thankful To Be Alive

The "Atlanta Bucket List" Edition

Oh, hey there -

They’re a few hundred new subscribers here.

Bridges To Burn

recently had a surge of followers and as a result, many of you hit the “follow all” suggestion without knowing exactly who you followed.

Welcome to Poverty Sucks!

I’m Robin - a writer, Mutual Aid organizer and curator of Black Business Guides.

I write about poverty because I’ve lived in it my entire life and this shit sucks.

Substack is a source of income as I fight my way out of a lifetime of lack.

My content has been open access (free) because I didn’t value myself. I didn’t believe people would pay $7 to read my words.

But lol, fuck that.

As we head into the Blackest, Black History Month ever, Poverty Sucks is now a paid subscription.

Black creatives deserve to be compensated for our labor.

Want to read my writing but it’s not the budget because capitalism is trash?

Say less.

Send me an email. I’ve got you, no questions asked: iamrobindivine@gmail.com

You can also visit my Patreon where I curate Digital Care Packages.

Because who couldn’t use an extra dose of care these days?

To my current paid subscribers, thank you for believing in my work and investing in my wellness - I’m grateful for you.
