Pricing Transparency

This page exists because you deserve to know what you are paying for, what this work actually costs, and why the numbers are what they are.

Pricing transparency is not an apology. It is a practice of the work.

What this work actually costs

This ecosystem is built and maintained by one person. Kim Crayton is a writer, theorist, strategist, and facilitator with 30 years of experience, including two decades of youth development work, years of organizational advising in the tech sector, and the ongoing, unquantifiable labor of developing a consistent, demonstrated antiracist practice in real time.

The work is not just the sessions, the issues, or the events. It is the holding of space. The absorbing of harm. The sustained attention required to guide white folx through discomfort without losing the thread of what the work is for. That labor has a cost that does not show up on a timesheet. It shows up in every number on this page.

Kim's rate structure

All rates are based on 30 years of experience.

  • Real Rate: $750/hr or $6,500/month [6 month retainer min]. Organizational advising, business strategy, Profit Without Oppression work.
  • Community Development Rate: $375/hr. Facilitation or consulting engagements.
  • Life Beyond the Supremacy Myth Rate: $200/hr. Ecosystem-specific offerings.
  • Speaking: Starting at $10,000 to $15,000 plus travel and accommodations.

2026 Season pricing

The 2026 Season is the first public season of the Life Beyond the Supremacy Myth ecosystem. It is primarily a season of introduction and data collection, building the audience, testing the offerings, and gathering the evidence that informs what comes next.

The pricing below does not reflect fair market rates for this work. It reflects an intentional decision to make the work as accessible as possible during a season designed to meet people at the beginning.

This will change. Future seasons will move toward pricing that fully reflects what the work costs. The gap between what is charged now and what this work is worth is documented here so it is never invisible.

All paid offerings use a three-tier structure:

Privileged / Set / Reduced

  • Reduced -- for those for whom the Set price creates a genuine barrier. Choosing this tier is a private decision. No disclosure required. No application. One question worth sitting with before you click: am I choosing this because it is true for me right now, or because it is available?
  • Set -- the price that reflects the value of the offering in this season. This is the anchor.
  • Privileged -- for those whose financial position, shaped by the systems, institutions, and policies of the myth, affords them more. The gap between Privileged and Set funds the gap between Set and Reduced.

Why this page exists

Pricing has historically been one of the places where the myth does its quietest work, making the cost of things feel arbitrary, making people feel they have to perform need or perform generosity, making the labor of marginalized people invisible while the labor of those who benefit from the myth gets overvalued.

This page is a refusal of all of that.

The numbers here are not random. They are not discounted to make you comfortable or inflated to signal status. They are honest about what the work costs, about where this season sits in the longer arc of the ecosystem, and about what is being asked of you at checkout.

The work starts here. In how honestly you choose.
