Great post on overwriting cultural messaging from Latina producer and fundraiser Alisa Valdes:

How to Ask for Money When You Grew Up Poor

It’s no easier for me now than it was then, and it’s no easier for me to ask for things than it is for anyone else, but I’m forcing myself to do the right thing because it must be done. I envy people who grew up in a different sort of culture, a culture of prosperity and entitlement. How different the world of business must be for them!
