What Your Parents Didn't Teach You About Money

<p><strong>Ep.46 &quot;What Your Parents Didn&#39;t Teach You About Money&quot;</strong></p><p>Generational financial illiteracy isn&#39;t a personal failure — it&#39;s a systemic inheritance. But at some point, the learning becomes yours to do.</p><p>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.</p><p>It&#39;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&#39;t know something yet. They couldn&#39;t hand me the playbook — but they handed me the tools.</p><p>Plus: we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of <strong>Hoop Couture</strong>, the co-ed hoop collective built on community and equal footing — including our rooftop run in the A&#39;ja Wilson 2&#39;s &quot;Still Loading,&quot; a special card read from artist <strong>SpudOof</strong>, and how that &quot;still loading&quot; mindset is exactly where a lot of us are with money right now.</p><p>You&#39;re not behind. You&#39;re loading. And if you&#39;re asking the questions — you&#39;re already breaking the cycle.</p><p>🎧 Footwear: A&#39;ja Wilson A&#39;Two &quot;Still Loading&quot; </p><p>☕ Sponsored by Chit Chat Chai</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
