ReShonda finds a potential home for her bank and a kindred spirit. And she faces new challenges.

It's a lot harder to find investors for a new bank than people willing to open accounts there. ReShonda discovers a group that might be interested in helping fund her Bank of Jabez.

ReShonda builds a popcorn business with a too-small loan, learning something that leaves her reeling. She joins a lawsuit that will have national ripple effects.

ReShonda Young got an up-close look at the wealth gap while working at a small investment firm, just outside her hometown of Waterloo, where she was the first point of contact for clients. She helped clients get ready to talk to an advisor about their investment portfolio and retirement planning. Within the first month, she noticed something about the clients she was meeting: almost all of them were white. These clients had generational wealth that made ReShonda realize that Black families had deeply unequal access to capital. It left ReShonda thinking, “how do Black families catch up?” She started teaching her community how to manage finances but she wanted to do more. ReShonda landed on starting her own bank.

ReShonda and Nia have both lived the reality of launching their own businesses as black female business founders in Waterloo. Learning from her father helping run his manufacturing company, ReShonda founded Popcorn Heaven and eventually franchised the business to several other locations. She most recently took on the role of Program Facilitator to launch the Black Business and Entrepreneur Accelerator (BBEA) in Waterloo, in addition to working as one of the founding partners of the Bank of Jabez, a Waterloo, IA based full-service CDFI that will intentionally focus on servicing the community's underbanked, low-income, and minority populations. Nia, more recently taking on the title of entrepreneur, is the owner of ShnDgg, photography, videography, and merchandise brand based in Waterloo. She recently graduated from the BBEA program and secured a partnership with Hy-Vee to carry her brand. We talk about the difficulties of getting started, accessing capital, and the networks of trust that can be the difference between welcomed client or unwelcome outsider – and how the BBEA and other initiatives are taking a shot at real, generational change for founders.

Dr. Adrian Mayse, CPA, Accounting Department Chair at Howard University, and author of the children's book “When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Accountant” (!) joined us for this episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast. Like many of our guests over the years, this guest was suggested by one of you, the listeners!  When I received the suggestion I was obviously intrigued, but when I looked on Amazon for Adrian's book and saw the quality, I couldn't help but ask him to come on the show. In this episode, we cover Adrian's early career of course, but then we get into two very informative & fun discussions about 1) what it takes to get your PhD in accounting, and 2) how he decided to and ultimately did publish his book, “When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Accountant”.  In a nutshell, “When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Accountant” is a children's book focused on teaching young children about the profession of accounting, as well as showing diversity in the profession – both of which are incredibly important.  I truly feel that Adrian has done both the profession and society overall a good deed by putting this book out into the marketplace, and I know it will make many people's lives better over time. You can find Adrian's book at: When I Grow Up I Want To Be...

It's election night and Valencia and her family wait with anticipation to find out if she continues to hold her Congressional seat. Not only that, but the time has come for Lawrence to come clean and explain who is Felicia Dixon. Could Lawrence's involvement with this woman ruin everything they've all worked hard for and cut the victory party short?

Ethan Hill is more than a Morehouse chemistry major...he’s now T-Ice, the hottest new rapper on the scene. Only Valencia has no idea that he’s hot or that he has a new song. But when she hears, “Dump Trump” on Fox News, Valencia knows for sure that the Republicans will be coming for her. But the Republicans will be easy compared to what she has to face in her personal life — the battle between her husband and her campaign manager and ex-boyfriend, Donnell Wiley.  ​

Valencia has to face the press and answer questions about her son, T-Ice’s rap song, "Dump Trump." But while she’s able to successfully turn that situation around (at least for now), she’s hit with a bombshell from her campaign manager. When Donnell brings up a name from her past, Valencia knows this is a secret that will no longer stay hidden. And now she’s sure...this will be the end of any hope she has to have a legitimate run for president.

Valencia Hill is about to undergo the interview of a lifetime...one that will position her as a frontrunner in the race to be the country's first Black female president. But when her "woke" daughter arrives from college with an unlikely guest and he son comes ready to showcase his new skills as a "conscious gangsta rapper"...could Valencia's hopes be derailed before they even get started? 

It’s been one shocker after another for Congresswoman Valencia Hill, first the stunning news about her daughter’s boyfriend...and then, her son’s newfound career. But she has to put it all aside as she sits down for the most important interview of her career with one of the top media outlets in the country. But the cameras are rolling and the surprises keep coming. Will any of these derail her chances for re-election?

Valencia tries to put her reservations aside and invite her daughter’s boyfriend and his parents to their home. But once Alice and Jimmy Lee Boone walk through the door, it goes downhill from there. These Trump supporters don’t mix well with the Democratic Congresswoman and more than a few sparks fly between the two families.

Book Blurb: When her son is in trouble, a heartbroken mother finds the courage and faith to save him, in ReShonda Tate Billingsley's powerful family drama—a novel as timely as today's headlines. The breaking TV news rocks Jasper, Texas, to the core: a white police officer is fatally shot in a scuffle with three black youths—and a cellphone video captures Jamal Jones, the sixteen-year-old son of esteemed Reverend Elton Jones, escalating the tragic encounter. Now, as the national spotlight shines on a town already rife with racial tension, Jamal is a murder suspect on the run. And all of Jasper—even the Reverend's congregation—rushes to judge the boy they thought they knew. But Gloria Jones knows her son best, and she races to find Jamal before the law does—to the outrage of her workaholic husband. Once she finds him, she has to decide whether to turn him in or help him run. With ruthless prosecutor and Houston mayoral candidate Kay Christensen hungering to put another young thug behind bars, Gloria will face her biggest battle yet. And when long-hidden secrets and shocking lies come to light, throwing Jamal's case and his destiny into a tailspin, all Gloria can do is pray that the truth—and a mother's unconditional love—will be enough to redeem the mistakes of the past and ultimately, save her son.
