With everything going on right now, I wanted to replay one
of the most important and impactful conversations that I've had on
the podcast, The Black Tax & The Cost of Being Black in America
with guest Shawn Rochester. In the beginning of the episode, I
also share my thoughts on why I will continue to use my platform to
educate and amplify Black voices while giving you the tools to
reach your Financial Freedom & Independence goals. I
encourage everyone to listen to this episode and share it with
someone who needs to hear more of how we as a nation got to a place
where Black Americans own only 2% of wealth and what we can do to
change it .
In this episode you will learn:
-
- Why I'm so committed to amplifying Black voices and
stories
- What is the Black Tax and how it’s impacting your wealth
- How to identify unconscious vs. conscious bias
- Why hard work is not the key to success and what resources you
really need
- Concrete ways you can close the wealth gap
- How to apply Shawn’s PHD strategy to create jobs, capital, and
thriving black communities, and so much more
