On today's podcast episode, Dasha Kennedy discusses how to build financial security no matter your income!
Dasha is a financial activist, speaker, and the author of Moving Beyond Broke. As the founder of The Broke Black Girl, she has built a digital community that provides real, relatable financial education for Black women navigating money with limited resources, systemic barriers, and real-life responsibilities.
Through her work, Dasha challenges outdated personal finance advice, centering economic justice and financial healing. Her upcoming book, Moving Beyond Broke, explores the emotional and financial realities of starting over, rebuilding wealth, and redefining financial success outside of hustle culture.
With a background in finance and lived experience as a single mother overcoming financial hardship, Dasha brings a raw and honest perspective to money conversations. Her mission is simple: to help Black women move beyond shame, take control of their finances, and build the future they deserve.
WHAT DASHA DISCUSSED:
- What inspired her to start The Broke Black Girl
- Why she believes financial literacy is a human right
- Breaking the stigma around the word “broke” and instead seeing it as a temporary phase rather than a label
- Why financial security isn’t just for the wealthy
- Practical ways parents can set their children up for success
- Tips to start rebuilding after a financial setback
And so much more!
