We continue our special
series focused on Urban Strategies, Inc., a national non-profit that
exemplifies the quest for urban equity and inclusion. Urban Strategies works
with more than 30,000 low- to moderate-income families in 31 communities across
24 major metropolitan areas. In this episode, we talk about the importance of
not only aiming to increase incomes for marginalized households but to also
promote wealth creation. I talk with Donovan Duncan, the Executive Vice
President of Urban Strategies, and Kristie Stutler, the Vice President of
Policy and Influence at USI. We discuss how USI defines “wealth,” what it means
to center wealth-building in place-based initiatives, and implications for
systems change and measuring results.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
