Ep #10 : Dasha Kennedy

Today we’re going to be talking money - which doesn’t seem that spiritual. Why are we doing that? Because before we launched our podcast we did a survey of the Lifefulness community asking one question: "What was preventing you living life as fully as possible?" A lot of people said money and finances.

That’s why we reached out to Dasha Kennedy - the inspirational founder of the Broke Black Girl community that gives financial advice catering to black women. At its heart is a 70 000 facebook group, that provides resources and support to this underserved demographic. Her advice is transforming the lives of her community members, and we think there’ll be loads in it for you and your broke ass.

What do we cover:

• Simple ways to get your finances under control.

• Ways to reframe saving.

• Insights into how financial services provide advice centred on white people.

• Understanding of black economic oppression.

In this conversation you will get brilliant insights in how to think about money, how to change your relationship with your finances and how to get better with it. I’ll be honest I was learning a lot because I am not great with personal finances. I loved learning about the Money Minute - find out what that ios and how it can help you in our conversation - and I really appreciated Dasha’s insights into how structural inequalities and racism affect financial advice.
