From Broke to Woke: How to Deal with Fin...

About this episode

Your worth shouldn’t be defined by your bank account balance or your credit score, but that shouldn’t mean you should ignore these figures, either.

In Ep. 25 of Season 2, Kenya Imani gives us great insight on how to take control of our finances by creating a budget, investing and tackling our loans. 

We discuss financial trauma and how the topic of money can be very stressful for many people. It's important to not dismiss the healing portion of the financial process.

There’s a lot we aren’t taught in school, and unfortunately managing our finances is one of them. Kenya walks us through why we should set life goals and the importance of living within our means.

Creating a budget may not sound like too much fun, but Kenya explains how this simple task can help us save up for rainy days and allow us to be in control of our money. Budgeting is meant to give you the ability to treat yourself, too!

College can be exciting for many reasons but when it comes to student loans - we rarely get the 411 on the ins and outs of these loans and that little thing called interest. The majority of graduates are stuck with student loan debt and the feeling that it will never go away. Kenya puts our hearts at ease by offering us some words of wisdom and comfort. 

We stick by this platform’s goal, and that’s to empower women in all avenues of their life, and what better way to do so then by giving them the right tools they need to understand and control their finances. 

It’s never too late to start working toward a debt-free life!
