Lemonade the Movie: Hope for those Struggling with Unemployment

Produced by Erik Proulx, Lemonade is a “project by and for those who have been affected by unemployment.” It’s about people who lost their job, but found their calling in the process.

I don’t know how many members of our community have been affected by unemployment, but current statistics tell us that it’s 1 in 10.

As one who has been through the fires of financial and employment struggles, I found this message inspiring and thought it valuable to share.

I know what it’s like to stare at the cold brick wall of failure, when all your best-laid plans “go awry,” when you feel like you have no options, when you’re overwhelmed by utter helplessness.

But what if those times carried the seeds of your real power and genius?

Check out Lemonade.

Here’s the trailer for the movie. Warning: There is mildly adult language in this video, so if you’re sensitive to that, don’t watch it, and if you do, don’t email me to complain.
