Feat. DREAM by Dyalekt & Dedrick Asante-Muhammad Listen here May 2021. That was the last time we posted a podcast episode. One of our most favorite, nourishing, life giving things we did gave way to the weight of… everything else. We had a false start in January of this year.

We were out of prac...

Hey there, It's Black History Month, and we're always ready to call out some sh*t about the finance industry. Here's some f*cked up history for you: The history of insurance is racist.
