In this powerful episode, Krista sits down with Simone Gordon, known across social media as the Black Fairy Godmother, who transformed her own experience as a struggling single mother into a revolutionary mutual aid movement.
Simone shares how a personal crisis led her to create a network that provides immediate, direct assistance to families in emergency situations. From covering utility bills to securing housing for domestic violence survivors, her social media-based initiative has become a lifeline for countless families in crisis.
In our conversation, we explore:
- The pivotal moment that transformed Simone from aid recipient to
community leader
- How she built a trusted network of helpers through social
media
- The unique challenges single mothers face in accessing
traditional aid systems
- Real stories of lives changed through immediate community
support
- Why the fairy godmother imagery resonates with her mission of
creating "magical" moments of help
- The future of mutual aid and how listeners can get involved
It's a really special episode about how to build a movement and the ripple effect it can have, and we can't wait for you to listen!
