Ep. 347: Making (Shelf) Space for Black-Owned Businesses

One of the most powerful ways to create social change is to do it with your wallet. And that’s why, on this HerMoney episode, we’re talking about how to support Black-owned businesses this holiday season. Joining us is LaToya Williams-Belfort, the executive director of the Fifteen Percent Pledge, which has called on retailers to dedicate 15% of their purchasing power to Black-owned businesses. We discuss what it really means for companies to support racial justice, and how consumers can continue to invest in Black entrepreneurs into 2023. In Mailbag, we answer questions about I-bonds and teaching investing to the next generation. In Thrive, a beginner’s guide to donor-advised funds. Learn more about your ad choices.
