You're clearly not talking about Black kids, or other children of color, who are forced to learn about race in early childhood and for obliviousness to race is not optional, so why not stop making the white silent...

What’s even more difficult is that the lowest quartile income especially women’s and BIPOC lack liquid assets to manage through economic and personal income shocks.
More on the remarkable & progressive policy response to COVID: financial distress (defined as income losses > 10%) soared not counting govt support. But with support was flat in 2020 & down in 2021 for the lowest quartile. From @FionaGreigDC & co-authors. jpmorganchase.com/institute/…

EXCELLENT PR move by @calm. Sheesh.
The Calm app has announced it will pay the fine for players opting out of Grand Slam media appearances for mental health reasons
It also matched Naomi Osaka’s fine and will match any future fines with $15K donations to @LaureusSport

My moment was when my family moved here from Cuba when I was 8. I saw my parents, who came here with just $1,000, build their wealth over time through saving & living within their means. It taught me anything is possible through hard work. What about you? #FinancialLiteracyMonth
This #FinancialLiteracyMonth, we @Prudential want to talk about the moments that sparked your interest in #financialeducation. For me, it was a stock market competition in 7th grade. I knew next to nothing about the markets; that contest changed it all for me. What about you?

The soul of America is on trial.
If Derek Chauvin gets anything less than life without parole, justice will not be served.
The right sentence is a chance to start healing the soul of America.
