The Women I Know

Jennifer Burks is a Philly native who has been working in finance for over 10 years. She is a brilliant financial mind and also one of my best friends! We discuss everything from meeting as two freshman college girls at The University of Delaware to generational wealth and Jenna helps us all see that you don't need to be rich to invest.  Check out the show notes for more from the episode including apps for investing, books for investing and how to support women's reproductive rights in Georgia. https://word.agency/podcast

In this mini episode, I check in with you! I admit to falling short, share some information about The Wing, a co working space for women, wax poetic about Beyoncé's "Homecoming" album, talk about generational trauma and shoutout some of the women who have recently brought light into my life. Next episode I'll be back with a special guest who will school us on investing! Reach out zoila@word.agency On IG: @zoiladarton

Karina Cabreja is, like myself a Native New Yorker of Afro Latina decent. She is EXTREMELY Dominican and EXTREMELY New York. She is also a mother, a music industry vet and a radio host. She recently uprooted her life to pursue her dream of being on the radio and you will never guess where her journey has taken her and her adorable daughter, Quinn. Her story is inspiring and a major kick in the ass for anyone who has ever felt stuck. In this episode we discuss everything from motherhood to moving to race relations in the midwest.
