Kashimana

Originally from Nigeria, musician Kashimana created an album inspired by the city’s guaranteed income pilot.

“I’ve always thought guaranteed income is something that we should all have. Everybody in society deserves to be taken care of, no matter what circumstances we’re in, no matter where we find ourselves in life.[3] Taking care of each other and ourselves seems like the basic thing that we’re put on this earth to do.”

“That guaranteed income could allow — in my mind — people that have been stolen from to have some relief to get ahead, to be stable, to even have the income where people can pivot and change careers or go to school or pay for basic things like health care.”
