In 2010, my grandmother passed away after a stroke. Then a heart wrenching experience in 2012 of losing my oldest child.I became a financial planner in 2003 during the process of helping my parents in their declining health. In 2011, three years after my parents passed, I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ to better help families in need.

Greetings and welcome to episode 4 of Season 6-Racism and Discrimination

I decided to reboot a previous episode on the subject. As I have gotten older, and maybe wiser, I understand the traumatic effects of dealing with years of unsolicited biases due to the color of my skin.

In this episode, I describe some horrible experiences I have had with racism and discrimination. These experiences have been both emotional and physically exhausting. The trauma is constant as situations continue to manifest themselves. I also realize my emotions heighten now that my sons have experienced some of the same slights I have faced.

I am gracious to have the right support systems in place to help me through many of these experiences.

As this is a podcast with a foundation of finance, I will also talk about the financial impacts of racism and discrimination.

As an ironic twist of fate, I have been recognized and requested as a speaker on the subject of racism and discrimination.

"There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." ----Leonard Cohen

Cheers and Be Well!!!!
