Money is everywhere. Of course, it isn’t everything. However, it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that the world as we know it probably wouldn’t without the financial system currently in place.
Food, business, housing — it all eventually comes down to the earning and spending of money. But besides vacations, student loans, and rent, are there other important things we can be putting our dollars towards?
The answer is yes!
On this episode of the His & Her Money Show, Tanja Hester is with us! The former political consultant is no stranger to the show. And we’ve got her back AGAIN to drop more truths for everybody listening at home.
Today she’s speaking on her newest book, WALLET ACTIVISM, and handing out tips and advice for taking up the reins and taking charge of your life — financially, socially, and beyond!
From politics to personal finance, Tanja has worn multiple hats across her career and has drawn so much wisdom from it all that she can’t wait to share! With a big passion for switching up the status quo, Tanja can probably sum up her goals in a simple universal way. She wants to see a change in our communities — positive, impactful change — and she wants you to know that the first place we can start is with ourselves!
Through WALLET ACTIVISM, Tanja has created a blueprint to tackle some of the hard stuff with a focus on systemic racism and discrimination, particularly pertaining to finances, and the negative effects big banks and Corporate America have on minority communities.
Fortunately, we can all get the jump on changing the status quo, and just like Tanja teaches through her book, we can be putting our dollars to work towards raising voices, making a difference, and looking towards a brighter future. We definitely recommend giving WALLET ACTIVISM your full attention, and let Tanja get you inspired!
