Lesley Batson wants to help you help yourself. Tune in to our conversation with the founder of Rebel Rock Wealth as she recalls her entrepreneur journey and how it led her to become her own boss!

Well, in America...it is that time to vote for our next President of the United States. Also, in America, things have come to a serious head when it comes to what it truly means to be an ‘American.' Whether one is truly equal or not. Whether being a female (specially a women of color) still limits your ability to purse positions, or especially, the people who are leading truly have no idea about your reality but trying to make all the decisions for you. Therefore, we decided to have a conversation after the last Senator Kamala and VP Pence debate. We thank and appreciate Diane Diaz, Lesley Batson, and Pamela Davis for joining us on this hot topic. What are your thoughts on the political climate in America? #politicsinamerica #politics #womenandpolitics #women #ablackgirlawhitegirl #conversationswithteetaandtiffany #teetaandtiffany #realconversations Tee-Ta Walker Tiffany Scott
