  • The Currency of Friendship: How Two Black Boomer Besties View Money

    The Currency of Friendship: How Two Black Boomer Besties View Money
    2025/04/22

    Angella and Leslie explore how our relationship with money evolves over time and how true wealth extends beyond financial success to include joy, freedom, and meaningful connections.

    • Money as just one form of currency in our lives

    • How entrepreneurship offers freedom beyond financial gain

    • The shift in perspective that comes when basic financial needs are met

    • Cultural expectations around money, especially for Black women

    • Redefining generosity and learning to receive as well as give

    • The tension between consumerism and finding contentment with less

    • Finding value in emotional support, time, and care that money can't buy

    We hope this conversation will cause you to think a little more deeply about what you're giving preeminence in your life, what you're expecting from others, and how to recognize the many forms of wealth that exist beyond one's bank account.

  • The Only One in the Room: Navigating Predominantly White Spaces

    The Only One in the Room: Navigating Predominantly White Spaces
    2025/04/15

    Leslie shares a recent experience of being the only Black person at two separate events—a Staten Island sports bar and a New Jersey fundraiser with over 300 attendees. This prompts a revealing conversation about racial segregation in America and the imbalance of cultural immersion between white and Black Americans.

    • Black Americans constantly "swim in white waters" while white Americans rarely need to navigate Black spaces

    • The myth of equivalence in self-segregation ignores power dynamics and demographic realities

    • White people with only one Black friend often make that person the spokesperson for all Black people

    • Discomfort in conversations about race should be embraced rather than avoided as it's where growth happens

    • Black professionals often face different expectations and must "over-perform" to receive equal respect

    • Discomfort in conversations about race should be embraced rather than avoided as it's where growth happens
