Ep 104 – Myth Buster #1: Financial Literacy is the Civil Rights Issue of this Generation
Amber and Erika promised to spend the remainder of Season 10 debunking the financial literacy myths you heard in Episode 1. Well, we’re making good on that promise by interrogating John Hope Bryant’s claim that “financial literacy is the civil rights issue of this generation”…whatever that means. Broke-ish All-Star and our Black Liberation Media comrade, Dr. Jared Ball, joins us to unpack the fallacies and insidious white supremacy underlying the statement. Join us to learn why capitalism and a good budget won’t save us from this broken “ish”!
This episode is supported, in part, by the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership and the Texas Woman’s University Quality Enhancement Plan.
I am responding to you comments as I listen to the podcast. First I appreciate your work. can 2 things exist at the same time. Can you be “financially literate” and burn this shit down. Yes. my thoughts ..#burnthisshitdown
I think it is possible to understand how to effectively manage resources in this world economy and still have the desire to burn this sh!t down. That’s basically a description of me, lol. The problem is typically as people get more resources they become numb to the pain capitalism inflicts and less willing to light matches.
Also, we appreciate the support!
