#31 Michelle Singletary: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats

That the joy of this pandemic could be a lasting effect on people reaching out and helping their neighbors; that people tend to rise to the occasion in emergencies and realize that we are all in this together.

That on a financial level, the pandemic has revealed the minimal possessions we really need and that human contact is what we’re craving.

That we need to resist the urge to narrow down to single sources of news and instead keep our minds open to other points of view.

That none of us are successful if our neighbors remain in poverty.

That there are ongoing impacts of intergenerational trauma for Black Americans, in addition to microaggressions, redlining, discrimination in hiring, and more.

That you need to align your finances and resources to what you truly value.
