I started a habit of lessening to this ❤️
I would love to have some more money!
I have a question, I have been listening to your podcasts & many others for years, so adjuster now? Why are all the white finance podcasts are focusing on inclusivity. Did you not notice the small numbers of blacks for years at your workshops, on your jobs & not in leadership positions. Why now, I think you all need to podcast about White blindness, not privilege, because once yall get tired of this, back to the same.
This is so great. Thank you for not just talking the talk but walking and becoming an active ally
