Taxes Are the Broccoli of Democracy, So Why Should You Care?

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm sharing my excitement about launching my book, Taxes for Humans.  I wrote this book to make taxes simple and empowering, especially for freelancers, creatives, and historically underrepresented communities. We dive into why understanding taxes isn't just about saving money, it's about knowing how our taxes fund essential services, support our communities, and strengthen democracy. I also break down practical tax tips for self-employed individuals and creatives so you can grow your business, maximize benefits, and make a positive impact.
