WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:03.870 Dion Payne, founder of Women for Homes. Tell 00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:13.650 me about your vision. You know, okay, I'll say 00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:19.929 it in broad strokes. So my vision is to end homelessness. 00:00:20.109 --> 00:00:28.039 And I see a world where we're equal. In lots 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.480 of different areas. For me, I believe that it 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:35.880 starts with housing. Reason being, when we look 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.299 at Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the very base 00:00:40.299 --> 00:00:44.780 of the pyramid is food and shelter and that sense 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:48.679 of belonging. You can do a lot in a home. And 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.799 I just, yeah, I really believe that's where it 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:56.240 starts. Our mission. based on that is to inspire 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.399 a million women to invest $5 ,000 to end homelessness 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.159 by 2030. Sometimes when I, well, initially when 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.500 I started talking about this, I did get quite 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:12.599 caught up in the numbers and like, oh, you know, 00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:14.859 like, well, a million women, like, how much money 00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:21.700 is that? But... what i'm getting and and as i 00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.980 speak about this more what i'm getting is that 00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:26.140 yes okay there's there's numbers and there's 00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:28.640 the leverage because with five billion dollars 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.760 that leverages more money and then you can build 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.159 a lot of homes from that and then it's a case 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.359 of recycling um but also there's the what i believe 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:41.700 is the unseen um support for this so there's 00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.760 you know something happens like there's a magic 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.340 that happens when people are inspired for a cause 00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:49.980 and you never know what walks of life people 00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.459 come from and how they can help and how they 00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:57.739 can support um and then i i i'm going to share 00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:00.780 something um so when i was having my children 00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:06.200 um i had a a blessing way which was basically 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.139 a group of women um that came to celebrate me 00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:12.080 and kind of like a baby shower but less based 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.599 on the material aspects and more based on the 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.639 what's the spiritual support that you need And 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.080 I remember in both of those circumstances and 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.479 both of the births that I had with my children, 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.180 just really feeling into all of my female ancestors 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:30.460 and the women that were standing behind me. And 00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:32.340 I just knew that in both of those situations, 00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:35.379 I wasn't actually alone. And that's how I feel. 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.620 That's the power that we're tapping into in terms 00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:41.620 of women for homes. There's this unseen support 00:02:41.620 --> 00:02:44.740 of ancestors of women that are saying, yeah, 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.740 like. we can do this. So from many levels, I 00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:52.719 just feel really supported and that this movement 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.960 is going to be really amazing. That's amazing. 00:02:56.219 --> 00:03:00.699 And that's amazing that you've tapped into your 00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:03.759 diverse communities that you have access to, 00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:07.259 the seen and the unseen. And I love that you 00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:10.120 mentioned Mazos Hierarchy of Needs. I'm a huge 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.090 fan. I think I have to thank Chip Conley for 00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:15.889 that of the book Peak, where he tied Maslow's 00:03:15.889 --> 00:03:18.810 hierarchy of needs to how he takes care of his 00:03:18.810 --> 00:03:22.250 team members, his customers and his investors. 00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:25.729 It's a brilliant breakdown of how to do that. 00:03:26.090 --> 00:03:28.789 And again, I'm going to share that on the screen 00:03:28.789 --> 00:03:31.129 here. You guys can pause this and study this. 00:03:31.229 --> 00:03:34.500 And it's a masterclass. We're all in it all by 00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:38.120 itself of how to make sure that you're maximizing 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.199 your life. I love what Mazo created for us. And 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.000 in addition to that, I love the tagline you have 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.560 here of one million women investing together 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.840 to end homelessness and that you value so much 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.719 the process of education and empowering women 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.159 with education. My my international politics 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.439 teacher. one of the few people i i actually listened 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.879 to in my university experience um because of 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.919 my bad uh behaviors not because of my professors 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.020 but he said jackson if you want to if you want 00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:12.919 to educate a nation if you want to change a nation 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.759 educate a mom and that just that hit me in a 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.740 way that i was like oh my gosh like that makes 00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:21.459 so much sense i was raised by my mom and my five 00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:26.060 older sisters um and so like it was a very emotionally 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:28.860 moving, important message for me to understand. 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.279 And so I very much saw and felt the sacred nature 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.339 of what you're doing with your vision. And I 00:04:35.339 --> 00:04:39.740 understand how incredibly fast and big of a call 00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:43.639 something like this is. So I have people that 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.439 I'd like to connect you with. We have opportunities 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.980 to dive so much deeper in regards to where this 00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:51.500 came from and where you're going with the vision 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.990 and what. you're looking for in terms of bringing 00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:59.410 both awareness to those who might benefit from 00:04:59.410 --> 00:05:01.889 it and finding the leaders who might help you 00:05:01.889 --> 00:05:04.449 pull it together. And oftentimes those go hand 00:05:04.449 --> 00:05:06.870 in hand, like you said. It's amazing how you 00:05:06.870 --> 00:05:09.990 meet somebody and they've got two hands. They've 00:05:09.990 --> 00:05:11.810 got a brain. They've got a heart. They've got 00:05:11.810 --> 00:05:13.709 the ability. They've got so many abilities they 00:05:13.709 --> 00:05:16.329 don't even often realize they have to help us 00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:19.089 accomplish things like this.
