When Will This Dumspter Fire End?
Description
We’re back, BA Fam! After surviving a morning of tech chaos (and some truly humbling camera angles), your favorite financial BFFs are back at the brown table— and we’ve got a lot to say.
Mandi shares how motherhood keeps her grounded (and off the doomscroll), and Yanely drops gems on supporting immigrant parents while building wealth. Plus, we get into that National Urban League report on the state of Black America (spoiler: it’s giving dumpster fire), break down the dangers of digital misinformation, and talk about the future of DEI.
In This Episode:
- Mandi talks about parenting through anxiety and the power of staying present
- We dissect the State of Black America report (yes, literally a flaming trash can was involved)
- Why same-day voter registration and digital literacy matter
- Yanely shares how her family went from cash-only to investment-ready
