Berna Anat – How do I Pick a Bank?

 

Berna Anat, is doing the damn thing when it comes to sharing financial information and literacy that is quick, funny, to the point, ethical, and aware of how not all financial advice applies to everyone. Especially to Black folks, Indigenous , Asian Americans, Latinos, etc.  I’ve been following her for two or three years and I have definitely felt informed and smarter after listening to her speak. Check out her new YouTube series!
For example, this is common knowledge to most folks, but for some reason it didn’t sink in to me until she broke it down. Using credit cards to make purchases helps you earn points which can be used to buy other things like plane tickets, or whatever you need depending on the card.
Dig this? I wrote about her when I heard she’s got a book dropping to break some of this down for young people and teachers. Get her book here

Earn Your Leisure – Police Brutality, taxpayers, insurance companies

 

Follow the money. There’s more to it than just racial hatred, and historic oppression even though that is the factual root of policing in the United States. Here, the good brothers over at Earn Your Leisure break down how insurance companies are making bank off of police brutality cases through cities such as Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Chicago. 
Here in this video they go into further detail about some of the major banks and corporations profit off of police brutality and how cities ear mark or set aside a certain amount of $$$ YEARLY for police murders, brutality, and settlements. Peep this article how corporations financially support cop unions.
Dig this? Heres a portrait of Huey P Newton (co-founder of the Black Panther Party), Brutality over the years

Money Out Loud- Berna Anat

 

I came across Berna on Instagram where she kills it with her financial hype woman advice, pointers, and celebrations. I, like so many did not grow up with financial literacy and I now know that is by design. But, I’m learning and I think the way Berna approaches finances and the fact that she made this to talk not only about the numbers but a person of color perspective makes this one to look out for.

Finance, knowledge, shame- Berna Anat, Farnoosh Torabi, and Ramona Ortega


We all have debt whether you’re poor, working class, or middle class. Only the wealthy and ultra wealthy can possibly say they do not have debt. We all struggle with paying rent, mortgage, bills, and living life because of financial knowledge, historical theft, so much.

But Berna Anat really is an approachable, plain language, and funny person who is knowledgeable about debt and some of the cultural nuances that most white male financial planners talk about. Check out this talk! Really worth following her.


Farnoosh! Love her she has a great podcast called “So Money” with short practical tips and interviews with folks who specialize in specific areas of finance. I subscribe to her podcast to learn!!

Lastly, Ramona Ortega! I found Ramona through Backstage Capital (Arlan Hamilton). Her company My Money My Future/ Mi Dinero Mi Futuro is a financial advising school and service. I subscribe to her newsletter and it is awesome.
Yes you can get advice and services for finances. You don’t have to be a rich white man to get it either.
Inspiring women tackling finance for people who don’t have the time, but want to save, grow their money, diversify their income streams, and live life. Of course there is this thing called Capitalism , Racism, and Imperialism which maintains unequal distribution of wealth and has literally robbed folks. But thats a whole other conversation. 
Be well and get fed mentally!
