Show Notes
I've got an incredibly inspirational guest for this episode! Dasha Kennedy, founder of the Broke Black Girl and author of Moving Beyond Broke: The Power of Perseverance in Personal Finance, shares her story of growing up low-income, surviving divorce and becoming a single parent, and learning about managing money on her own. On her personal finance journey, she realized she could help other women, especially Black women, in similar circumstances, which led her to create a massive community online where she now teaches others how to build generational wealth, increase your income, and ultimately move beyond broke once and for all.

More from More Money Podcast
It's been 6 months since I started my hiatus...did you miss me? Because I missed you and as the More Money Podcast crosses 11 years since it started (and I celebrate a very special birthday), I wanted to give you an update on what I've been up to during this break and share what the future may hold for this podcast.
For the season finale of Season 22, I am thrilled to welcome Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often, to discuss how we can redesign our lives to include multiple career breaks instead of waiting until 65 to enjoy our freedom. As I wrap up 10 years of the podcast and prepare for my own hiatus, Jillian explains why we should treat our careers like interval training rather than a marathon to avoid burnout, sharing how she has successfully taken a dozen mini-retirements over the past two decades while raising six kids.
It is such a treat to have Amanda Holden, also known as Dumpster Doggy, back on the show for the first time since February 2020! Since we last spoke, she has pivoted from live events to teaching over 25,000 students online and writing her debut book, How to Be a Rich Old Lady, which comes out this January.
What do your freedom years look like? Because too often we are so focused on our day-to-day, we don't leave much space to reflect on "But what are we working towards?" That's why I wanted to re-listen to this episode with Stephanie Myers and Gillian Batt from Our Freedom Years. After years of saving and investing, they were able to quit their day jobs, retire early, and spend their days travelling around the world while documenting it on their YouTube channel. In this interview, they share the steps they took to achieve this big milestone, how to account for things like no longer having a permanent home and paying taxes as a nomad, and the biggest question people ask: "How do I not run out of money?"
In this episode, I sit down with Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, an award-winning economist and author of the new book The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid. Anna breaks down the concept of the "Double Tax," describing it as the "Pink Tax and then some," and explains how the compounded costs of racism and sexism force women of colour to pay more to exist in our economy, and what we can all do to make things more equitable for everyone.
