Last Thursday I sent out an email and issued a special podcast episode of the Inbox Besties Podcast "How to handle your list in difficult times" and "Should you skip emailing your list this week?" My thesis: Check in with your gut. Do what it says  My gut said to listen.  I did. I have and will continue to do so, but this isn't about me.   It's about my mission to put money in the hands of good people so they can do good things. The brilliant black women have been we are listening to, learning from and share about on Instagram stories are those good people. Make sure they get paid. Here's 6 ways to do that. 3 are totally free for you.  Black Lives Matter.  

As you many remember in March / April we switched to daily episodes called the super special. While we aren't going back to daily episodes for the time being after what happened this week here in the states, I couldn't NOT talk about the email I sent my list this week about how to handle your business and community when horrible things are happening real time.  If you need to vent feel free to email me kate@katedoster.com or dm over on Instagram @kate_doster
