Macro vs. Micro Solutions

On this episode of Broke-ish, Delina and Erika take a step back to explain why micro-solutions aren’t the answer to the macro issues we discuss on Broke-ish. Sometimes people say, “if we would just” or “why can’t we be like so-and-so” in order to solve issues created by the racial wealth gap.

Homework

Be conscious of the times that you want to say, “If we would just…or Why can’t we be like such and such.”
