This episode is blackety black black! Shani and I go beyond Black wealth for a deep dive on the psychological impact of slavery, systemic oppression ,and the connection to the Black economy.
Even when the people are not protesting, my life is a protest. The way I live is a protest. The way I deal with my husband and children is a protest. The way I eat my food is a protest. I’ll always be protesting.
As a financial planner, Shani does more than just help her clients manage their money. She’s deeply passionate in particular about helping Black people understand how their psychology affects their spending habits and their relationship with money. Through her Money Therapy coaching, she helps clients repair their relationship with money to set them on a better path to financial freedom.
In what was supposed to be a 15 minute chat turned into almost two hours of a much needed discussion on how Black people’s oppression has impacted our financial core. Tune in and you will be hollering Amen throughout the episode.
