it just feels different...
As Christine Taylor Butler expressed on our "Black Biz Banter" podcast yesterday, there is a heightened level of excitement this time around. Christine Taylor-Butler is the author of over 90 books on STEM, ecology, animals, mystery and many more. The ones we discussed on April 4, 2024 are called, "Solar Energy" and "Experiment with Solar Energy." It felt like home when I first arrived.
Ethiopia...It all started when the airport officials pointed at me and motioned to come forward to their booth. I didn't know what was happening as they were speaking what I now know was Amharic. Since I travelled alone, I didn't know what I was about to encounter. This is the first book I read that permanently changed my spending habits...
When I filled out the financial expenses worksheet provided in "Black Economics: Solutions for Economic and Community Empowerment" by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu-Africanamericanimages, my jaw dropped when I saw my results. This wasn't just a sheet of numbers anymore. It also included a column to indicate the ethnicity of the person I signed my check over to for each expense. At the time I was supporting Black artists at the yearly BHM event while in corporate America, but, the numbers on that worksheet helped me realize that more than 95% of my money was going outside of the community each month. It became crystal clear that I could do so much better. |
