Episode 22 features Allison Haywood in her first podcast interview ever! Allison stopped by to break down:

\\n

--  crucial life lessons she\'s learned from jewelry-making;

\\n

-- why she\'s sworn off social media; and

\\n

--  how raising kids (and ourselves) is a radical act.

Allison Haywood is a self-professed luddite-lite, creator, investigator, teacher, and learner. Her path has never been linear. She attended Brown University for two years and then left for four years. During her four years off from college, she trained with a master goldsmith and started a fine jewelry line, name after her Uncle Woodrow, the only man in her life who wore jewelry daily. Eventually, she decided to return to school and finish up her degree. I\'ve dabbled in many different fields, most revolving around social justice work, and upon graduating from Brown got a job at CityBridge Education, a nonprofit charter-school incubator. She recently moved to Atlanta because of her fiance\'s work, and promptly enrolled in a real estate salespersons\' course. She has always been interested in the concepts of ownership and private property and wanted to delve into a space that the Black community has largely been shut off from. Real estate is a wealth-building industry, and one of the biggest contributors to the Black-White wealth divide is a lack of homeownership within the Black community.

Her #TNWIDTakeaway: "Raise yourself to question, to be critical, to think, to explore, to be unafraid...it is radical to do that and it could possibly change the course of a lot of things."
