Scenario

When creative friendships involve unspoken economic imbalances

My friend and I have been working on this zine together for a year and I've realized that what feels like creative collaboration to me feels like unpaid labor to her. We've never talked about money because it started as a passion project, but the power dynamic is getting weird and I don't know how to address it without making everything awkward.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Differences in financial resources or opportunity costs are creating an invisible hierarchy that threatens both the work and the relationship.
