Today is Juneteenth, a national holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It’s an important day that reminds us to reflect on the ongoing work that’s still needed to create true equity. Today: our conversation focuses on financial equity and the role mental health plays in supporting our journey to financial independence. And if you’re a person of color, you may have a unique set of generational trauma that continues to make life complex and your dealings with money challenging.

Guests are: Yemi Rise, founder of OfColor, a black-owned financial wellness platform and Aja Evans, a licensed therapist who helps clients relieve money anxiety to achieve financial wellness.
