Published: June 11, 2020, 7:53 p.m.

In last weeks episode, we discussed education in school where we need better training for our teachers on how to properly handle our kids and deal with those who come from broken environments, dealing with children suffering from PTSD due to poor conditions or growing up with parents dealing with generational curses, and zero tolerance mostly affecting brown children. If you haven\u2019t please go back and check out the first episode \u201cTackling the School to Prison Pipeline\u201d it\u2019s a great discussion and very informative.

As we continue this discussion the Road to Black Economic Development let\u2019s look at another avenue and that is money. When it comes to finances it is something that affects us all. That has become clearer doing this time with the pandemic because it has exposed our most vulnerable point and that is having a reliable steady income. With over 30 million-plus still collecting unemployment, the one thing we have to discuss is the path forward and what could have been some of our best practices to prepare us for this storm. We\u2019re told by leadership we should have over 2 years' worth of income saved but most companies don\u2019t even pay the cost of living so Americans are having to seek out other means to bring more into the house. The problem with that is time costs money and money can mean a lot of things in the household such as time with kids, investing time with your spouse or private life, working on projects that you love doing, etc. So joining me again is Tamika Day as we dive deep into this topic and work towards understanding a Road to Black Economic Development.
