A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

Financial feminism! What is it? Does it exist? Can it exist? Why did Cara Delevingne wear that stupid "peg the patriarchy" shirt to the Met Gala? This week on the Bad With Money Season 8 finale, Gaby talks to HerFirst100K's Tori Dunlap, a marketing genius, investing educator, controversial Tiktoker, host of the podcast "Financial Feminist," and the woman behind "fighting the patriarchy by making women rich." Then Gaby breaks down why "financial feminism" feels a little icky with comedian and long-time comrade in the field of Internet feminism Akilah Hughes. Thank you for listening all season long! We'll be back with Season 9 in a few weeks! Trigger warning: Mentions of sexual assault in the opening monologue.
