don't fall for this black capitalist propaganda, instead read:

"False Prophets of Profit:

Celebrity financial advice often overlooks systemic barriers that impact Black communities."

For our 1st post we are sharing our episode with John Hope Bryant where he annoyed us w/ the worst financial literacy myths dipped in anti-Blackness. The misogyny & condescension where at all-time highs. Tap in & tell us what you think. #financialliteracy #financialeducation youtu.be/3sJ0EB4JO98?...

We brought in @imixwhatilike.bsky.social as the antidote to our episode with John Hope Bryant. Here we fight back against the idea that financial literacy is the civil rights issue of this generation. Tap and in! youtu.be/aln7V6zN0pw?... #financialliteracy #financialeducation #payday
