Hot Mess Millionaire

From the “mean” streets of Baltimore to Stanford Ph.D. to Black Woman Millionaire. Dr. Venus Opal Reese has some shit to say. Starting with an audio performance of The Raw Truth: A Pimp Daughter’s Diary, followed by a series of topics that cover real-life & money matters, this show is all about giving yourself permission. Permission to be wounded AND wealthy. Permission to flaunt your freak flag unafraid. Permission to be a bunch of contradictions that somehow, someway, make a perfect whole. Real talk: life, like money, is not neat. But that’s the good news! You don’t have to be perfect to be a millionaire. Or happy. Or to fulfill your destiny. But you DO have to be your “real and raw” authentic self. And Dr. Venus leads the way by example. Tune in weekly, to discover how to dive, head-first, into the sloppiness of what it takes to turn your “mess” into meaning AND millions! THIS is Hot Mess Millionaire. Join us.
