Southern Project Hustle centers Black Women and Black Queer Femmes building liberated economic alternatives. It honors the legacy and resilience of the hustle economy, a space used to supplement incomes and meet the needs of Black families.
A key part of their work is building worker cooperatives and collectives as an alternative economy, to share in economic gains and to flourish outside of an unjust labor market. With the intention of building wealth for Black families and utilizing the brilliance of Black women, Southern Project Hustle will pilot a project that allows folks to reset, re-adjust, and prioritize care and healing before moving towards owning their labor through cooperative development.
