Crown Letter: Ai-jen Poo
The Family Table — Household Steward
January 24, 2026
Dear Ms. Poo,
The people who care for our families are invisible — until they’re not there.
You’ve spent your career making that invisible labor visible. Fighting for dignity, fair wages, and respect for the domestic workers who hold households together. You know what I know: this work isn’t lesser. It’s essential.
I’ve built a platform with fifteen charitable initiatives. The fifteenth is called The Family Table, and I want you to lead it.
What We’re Building
The Family Table creates infrastructure for household management — but not the way the industry usually frames it.
We’re building:
- Household Concierge services — World-class providers valued like Michelin chefs, not invisible servants
- Fair-wage matching systems — Connecting families with workers at rates that honor the work
- Intergenerational support networks — Grandparents, neighbors, and professionals working together
- Professional development pathways — Turning household work into respected careers with advancement
The word “Concierge” is intentional. We’re not building a service for wealthy families to exploit cheap labor. We’re building a profession — where the people who manage homes are respected the same way hotel concierges, executive assistants, and private chefs are respected.
Because they should be.
The Platform
Liana Banyan is a cooperative commerce platform where creators keep 83.3% of every transaction. Fixed margin: Cost + 20%. No algorithmic extraction. No race to the bottom.
Three commercial portals generate revenue. That revenue permanently funds fifteen cooperative initiatives — including The Family Table. The giving is structural. It doesn’t depend on donations or grant cycles.
Every worker on our platform owns a piece of it. Every family they serve benefits from a system designed to value everyone involved.
The Crown
We’re building a board of initiative leaders we call “Crowns.”
Each Crown champions their initiative — setting direction, advocating for resources, representing the community they serve.
I’d like you to be the Crown of The Family Table.
The title would be Household Steward — because this role is about stewarding the dignity of household work for millions of families.
The Ask
Would you be willing to explore this?
I’m not asking for commitment today. I’m asking if this vision interests you enough to have a conversation.
The Family Table won’t build itself. It needs someone who has spent decades understanding why care work matters — and how to make systems that honor it.
That’s you.
Help each other help ourselves.

P.S. — You wrote: “We’ve always been told to undervalue this work.” The Family Table is built to overvalue it — structurally, permanently.
P.P.S. I just filed 600+ patent claims twenty minutes ago. Provisionally—because I can’t yet afford the real thing at $8,000-$10,000 each. Yet is the operative word.
