To valorize, means to make an absolute and clear distinction between

your inherent worth, which is unquantifiable, and a given (you have life),
and
the created value of your work.

Confusing the two creates a devaluing effect on life itself!

Inherent worth means you are worthy of what you need or desire, even when you don't have it. Your ability to create value is not a reflection of your inherent worth.


V A L O R I Z E assumes that creating and receiving value are skills within a condition of unequal starting points; there are systemic forces, power dynamics and inequities that create de-valuation and barriers to having value be recognised within existing systems.

V A L O R I Z E foregrounds personal agency and choice, as one of many antidotes.
