What Your Parents Didn't Teach You About Money

Ep.46 "What Your Parents Didn't Teach You About Money" Generational financial illiteracy isn't a personal failure — it's a systemic inheritance. But at some point, the learning becomes yours to do.

In this solo episode, we get into the money lessons most of us never received — and why that gap was never your fault. From redlining and survival-mode parenting to a school system that taught us the quadratic formula but never explained a credit score, we trace where the knowledge got lost and what actually fell through the cracks: credit, investing, homeownership, and insurance.

It's also personal. A mom who grew up Black in Brooklyn and taught me to find the answers at the public library.

A dad from the Ivory Coast who taught me to read the fine print and never be too proud to admit I didn't know something yet. They couldn't hand me the playbook — but they handed me the tools.

Plus: we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Hoop Couture , the co-ed hoop collective built on community and equal footing — including our rooftop run in the A'ja Wilson 2's "Still Loading," a special card read from artist SpudOof , and how that "still loading" mindset is exactly where a lot of us are with money right now. You're not behind.

You're loading. And if you're asking the questions — you're already breaking the cycle. 🎧 Footwear: A'ja Wilson A'Two "Still Loading" ☕ Sponsored by Chit Chat Chai
