Financial Feminist

When the Black Lives Matter movement resurged in 2020, many of us began (or reignited) our anti-racism journey –– selling out books, posting black squares, marching, and donating. Unfortunately, as is often the case with allyship, burnout quickly sunk in for many of us. Today’s guest is here to help us find ways to make our allyship more sustainable and build it on a foundation of anti-racism and activism so we can continue to fight for equality and equity without the burnout. Alyssa Hall is an Anti-Racism Consultant and Leadership Coach whose work with her clients focuses on strengthening the leadership skills needed in promoting an anti-racist environment. In addition, she ensures her clients continually uphold their values of diversity, equity, and inclusivity, which in turn brings them greater success in their lives and their businesses.Pre-Order “Financial Feminist: Overcome the Patriarchy’s Bullsh*t to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love”: https://bit.ly/3PpHvlCEpisode show notes:https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/ Follow Alyssa on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/arleadership/ Join the School of Anti-Racist Leadership:https://schoolofantiracistleadership.lpages.co/groupprogram/ Our HYSA recommendation [affiliate]:http://sofi.com/herfirst100kFollow Financial Feminist on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/financialfeministpodcast/ Follow Her First $100K on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/herfirst100k/Looking for more actionable money advice?

The Credit Card Industry is built on sexism (surprise, surprise, another industry that benefits the patriarchy) –– and not understanding how credit cards, credit scores, and things like reward points benefit men more than women is how it continues to go unchecked.
