Passing Down

    Hope everyone has enjoyed my recent content. Thank you for all your reading and support! Today, we'll touch on the last bullet point from my blog, Generational Wealth and the Black Community. Making a business for your family that can be passed down is a good way to leave your children jobs and help keep money in your family. We, as black people must stop being afraid of being different. We have to stop fearing doing things on our own or fear being in the minority. We have to start using our interest and turn them into streams of income to help us with cash flow. If you are good at anything, see if it's something you can take seriously and use it to your advantage. If you like baking cakes out of the boxes at the grocery store, you can easily buy some baking cups and utensils and start selling baked goods. You can do a bake sale and start advertising on your social media showcasing your talent. Some people bake from scratch, but either will work if you're good and passionate. You can always look up in your city how to get a street permit or you can see if you can sell at kids sporting events in your community, try a local street market or flea market, etc. (They usually don't cost a ton to reserve these spaces but you can attempt to save up for this cost in advance.) If you played sports and would like to include it in your adulthood life, maybe you can do training camps for kids for a good price. Know how to fix cars, don't be afraid to let people know. Some people are more comfortable with backyard mechanics and people always need something on their cars fixed. If you were good at reading or math subjects, tutor children, teens, or adults in college. Sell your old clothes that are in good condition or furniture. It's okay to start small and give yourself time to prepare. Write out a business plan and give yourself time to stash money. You don't need a ton of money to start a business. You do need knowledge, a solid plan, faith, a good work ethic, patience, passion, and like minded people willing to help you. Just remember, you can't finish something you never start!

Until Next Time,

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op

Money Monday 💲💲💲

Everyone needs it, but everyone uses it differently! Today, we're discussing different types of money personalities. The way you perceive your finances affects your children, so financial literacy is overly significant. Money Hoarders just have to hold on to every cent. These individuals take pride in saving and budgeting their income. Money Monks take a moral standpoint on their funds. They don't want their amount of money earned to turn them away from their spiritual beliefs. "Money is the root of all evil," for money monks. Spenders like to throw all their hard earned money away. They are driven by impulse, and their wallets reflect it! Avoiders don't care for the responsibilities that come with money management. Lack of knowledge and confidence in their income causes them to be apathetic about their financial state. Amassers love obtaining wealth and multiplying it. They have entrepreneurial spirits, and desire to make their money into generational wealth. Wer
