Let’s talk podcasts…
Money talks, especially for millennials and Gen Z. According to the latest report from the TIAA Institute-GFLEC Personal Finance Index (P-Fin Index), African Americans lag behind whites in financial literacy topics, including personal finance knowledge such as investing, saving, borrowing, loans, emergency expenses, and weekly and monthly earnings from employment.
Young people of color need proper guidance on how to make sound decisions when it comes to managing debt, making major financial decisions, and stepping their side hustles up! Fortunately, there are Black-hosted podcasts to help with those matters.
RoyalTee Magazine highlights five podcasts hosted by people of color who discuss finance and promote financial literacy. Each voice is dedicated to sharing finance-related information in a unique way.
