In today's episode, we're tackling an issue that touches millions of lives: student loan debt. This topic is particularly significant in the Black community, where student loans often represent the highest form of debt. Our conversation is sparked by insights from last week's discussion on budgeting—or as we like to call it, spending plans—and the overarching impact of debt.We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Melissa Chester, a figure of immense knowledge and experience, to dive into this conversation. Dr. Chester, the current chapter president of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), is not only a broker and owner of Red Phoenix Realty in Jackson, Florida, but also the proprietor of a real estate school and the director of economic development at LISC, a nonprofit organization. Her extensive background is further enriched by 15 years as a professor at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), a prestigious HBCU and the National Black Champions of 2023.Join us as we explore the complex landscape of student loans, the importance of college education, and their implications on the Black community. With Dr. Chester's unique perspective—combining real estate, economic development, and educational leadership—we aim to uncover strategies to manage student loan debt and discuss the broader impact of education on financial wellbeing.Resources:Learn more at The Color of Moneythecenter1foundation.org/dr-melissa-noland-chesterBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA MediaThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Today, I had a fantastic conversation with Adrianne Bright, Partnership Activation Manager at the San Francisco 49ers. Always focused on her goals, Adrianne went through unique internship experiences in top companies, like Disney and Nascar. We talked about her journey in the sports industry, the most significant lessons learned from her internships, and how having a vision of what we want for our career can help us. If you enjoyed the show, please leave us a five-star iTunes review.  ********************************************************************* "We work in a relationship-driven industry, and knowing how to navigate this space and what tools are out there and what resources are out there, I think that needs to be stressed a little bit more." - Adrianne Bright.  Adrianne Bright has a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication from Central Michigan University and a Degree in General Business Administration and Management from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). She was a volunteer for White Pine Programs, Freedom Foundation, and Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh.  Sports were present in Adrianne since she was a little kid, and her father would take her to several sports events. She got curious at an early age about the people behind the sports' final product. Adrianne saw the work put behind the spectacle and decided she wanted to be part of it.  Many years later, doing online research, she learned about an internship she didn't know existed, Integrated Marketing Communications. After applying, and with some luck, she got the position at NASCAR. During her internship, she learned a lot about the industry and the sport itself, and the company. For instance, she didn't know about the Drive for Diversity, a program designed to attract minorities to the sport.  Adrianne believes strongly in not being "afraid of making noise" as interns or employees in a company. If we are occupying a position, it is for a reason, and we should always be open to speak our minds, propose changes, and participate with ideas that would make us and the company grow.  Connect with Adrianne: LinkedIn
