We're bringing back one of our favorite episodes packed with an inspiring journey of Ann-Marie Anderson and Sabrina Williams, dedicated advocates for financial literacy, particularly within the African American community. Their shared mission is to empower individuals and families with the knowledge needed to break free from financial struggles and build lasting wealth. Both women draw from personal experiences of financial missteps to emphasize the importance of teaching financial literacy early, especially to children, in order to prevent the cycle of poverty and financial instability from continuing. They advocate for practical financial strategies, such as using the snowball method for debt repayment and investing in life insurance to build generational wealth. Their insights stress the importance of managing debt, creating budgets, and making informed financial decisions that can lead to long-term success. They also encourage parents to take proactive steps in educating their children about money management, which will serve as a foundation for future financial independence. Now is the time to take action. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or someone looking to improve your own financial knowledge, start by learning more about budgeting, debt repayment, and wealth-building strategies. Empower yourself and your family with the tools needed to secure a brighter financial future. Start today by exploring resources, like Sabrina's book A Dollar a Day Makes a Millionaire Someday, and commit to making financial literacy a priority in your life.

Send us a textJoin us for Bishop Wright's latest podcast series: The Heart of Moral Leadership. Moral leadership is critical in turbulent political times because it provides a compass for guiding people through uncertainty, promoting justice, and fostering unity. In periods of division, leaders with strong ethical principles inspire trust, encourage empathy, and model behavior that prioritizes the common good over personal gain.Jesus' leadership, marked by compassion, forgiveness, and a radical commitment to loving one's neighbor, offers a moral framework that transcends political and social boundaries. His teachings focus on humility, service, and advocating for the marginalized—values that resonate throughout history and remain relevant today. In the series intro, Bishop Wright has a conversation with The Rev. Dr. Robert Franklin, Senior Advisor to the President of Emory University and the James T. and Berta R. Laney Chair in Moral Leadership. They discuss what defines a moral leader and draw examples from Jesus, Dr. King, and President Jimmy Carter. Dr. Franklin shares the importance of nurturing a collective responsibility, urging us all to embody ethical behaviors and cultivate a moral compass in our daily lives. Listen in for the full conversation. Dr. Franklin is the Senior Advisor to the President of Emory University and holds the James T. and Berta R. Laney Chair in Moral Leadership. Before joining Emory, Franklin was a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Martin Luther King Jr. Institute and Director of the Interfaith Religion Department at the Chautauqua Institution in New York. An ordained minister, Franklin served as President of the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) in Atlanta from 1997 to 2002.A celebrated author, Franklin has published four books: Moral Leadership: Integrity, Courage, Imagination (2020); Crisis in the Village: Restoring Hope in African American Communities (2007); Another Day's Journey: Black Churches Confronting the American Crisis (1997); and Liberating Visions: Human Fulfillment and Social Justice in African-American Thought (1990).Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

This special episode explores the incredible legacy of businessman and visionary philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. How he was born to German Jewish immigrants, rose to become the President of Sears Roebuck and the meaningful way that his legacy continues to live on and have meaningful impact to this day…! Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America's most effective philanthropists. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow era to build 5,300 schools, providing 660,000 black children with access to education in the segregated American South. The Rosenwald Fund also provided grants to support a who's who of African American artists and intellectuals and numerous artists that Eric represents and promotes, including Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, William Artis and others who were greatly helped by Rosenwald Foundation funds.   Featuring Community Leader Roger Smith; Eric's cousin from Virginia - from the very school that Eric's Mother attended that was built thanks to the generosity of Rosenwald that is an historic landmark… They discuss how Dunbar Schoolhouse came about, how the building itself had been assembled and how Roger, alongside his Family have been instrumental in restoring and maintaining the school. Preserving its history through an on-sight museum  — committed to keeping the story of Dunbar Schoolhouse alive..!

Washington and the strong friendship that they forged.  Realizing the need for and power of education as a way to uplift communities and becoming involved in building schools in the rural south.

Yvette has a conversation with Dr. Fitzroy Dawkins, a medical oncologist and hematologist, about his quest to become more influential in shaping clinical trials in the African American community.  With the sordid history of medical testing in the African American community, there is a significant reluctance by the African American community to participate in clinical trials. Dr. Dawkins reflects on the Tuskegee experiment as one such diabolical example.  For that reason and others, Dr. Dawkins consistently advocates for the training of more Black physicians skilled in the science and art of clinical trials so they can better serve their communities and, along with him, advocate for more clinical trials focused on the cancers that affect the African American community.

There's a lot of debate surrounding the legacy of slavery and segregation. Some may even question whether there's still active racism. But if you happen to buzz down to Roanoke's Taubman Museum of Art or Harrison Museum of African American Culture, you can see how discriminatory real estate practices from the past continue to impact Black Americans today. And that is due to a remarkable exhibit that both nonprofit museums are co-hosting: David Ramey: Gainsboro Road and Beyond. Buzz4Good creator Michael Hemphill chats with the curators of the exhibit, and the artist's son who has dedicated his life to sharing his father's legacy.Are you a nonprofit with an event that we could help promote?

Jennifer-Ruth Green, a lieutenant colonel in the Indiana Air National Guard, emphasized the need for American resources in building ships and arsenals. Relying on China for materials during a potential war would be a huge risk, and she compared it to Stockholm syndrome, where we become complacent and fail to see the harm it can cause.  But it wasn't just about national security; the conversation also delved into the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Jennifer-Ruth, a black Republican running in a primarily black district, shared her experiences and the division caused by political parties. It's disheartening to see how political affiliation can overshadow the work and achievements of individuals, hindering progress and opportunities for all.

So let's talk about prostate cancer... We are still in the month of June, and our episode for today is still a part of our men's health series. But this week, we will be focusing on a specific disease that's been severely affecting Black men for a very long time already. I am talking about prostate cancer. Did you know that there's a higher incidence of prostate cancer in African-American men? The incidence is so high that it gets detected at a much earlier age, and more concerningly, Black men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer are found to have the more aggressive forms of it – hence resulting in a much higher mortality rate compared to other communities. That is why I know that as a member of both the medical community and the Black community, I need to say and do something about it that will serve as the vehicle and engine for the change that I want to see. So join me in today's podcast as we talk about prostate cancer and why we need to put focus on men of the African-American community when having a discussion about it. Why you need to check this episode: Get a full understanding of what prostate cancer is and how significantly it affects men of the African-American Community; Know the risk factors that surround prostate cancer and which factors you have control over; and Understand why early detection and prevention, and not treatment should be your goal when it comes to prostate cancer “Imagine, you have a disease that kills our community more frequently, is diagnosed earlier in our community, kills more people in our community, and is more aggressive in our community. And because we don't get the simple blood tests, because we don't do the simple checkups, because we're fearful of the system, we allow our community to die at a much more significant rate than other communities. We cannot have that.”– Dr. Berry Pierre Notable Quotes: “It kills us at such a significant rate than our other counterparts… Every good website will have a section where they specifically say ‘prostate cancer' and then ‘prostate cancer in African-American men'. Because that is how much it is damaging specifically to our community.”– Dr. Berry Pierre “Historically speaking, black men do not trust medicine. I know that wholeheartedly. And more importantly, I feel your pain and discomfort… You guys understand how historically speaking, medicine's history is littered with racism, sexism, and so many atrocities specifically to the black community, and more importantly, specifically to black men. So we understand why you may be less reluctant to want to get a regular checkup. The problem is that, fast forward to 2023, our reluctance and our fear are killing us.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “I see people who look like me die at a much more significant rate. I have to do something about that. I have to say something about that. And I need to be a vehicle and engine for the change that I want to see.” – Dr. Berry Pierre “The screening, the recognizing, the recognizing early is the goal. Because if we do all of those things, our predictability to have a good life afterwards a.k.a. ‘not die' goes much higher.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.
