A Different World & Build Wealth Advice!

The Seeds You Sow

We're wrapping up Black History Month with the "We Are, Because they Were" series through which we honor the historical African American people, films, shows, or movements of our past and place them in conversation with people doing similar work today. This week we honored the classic 90's TV show A Different World with the recent television premiere of the coming of age show, Grownish. Although the two shows were released 30 years apart from one another they both depict the college experience through the perspective(s) of the Young & Black. We highlighted the importance of representation in the media and how shows like a A Different World & Grownish plant seeds of positivity and achievement in our youth and subtly encouragement them to pursue higher education. We salute both shows and appreciate their contribution to the culture! Also in the studio was Jasper Smith, who returned to offer humor, insight, and financial advice. Jasper is the leader of the #BuildWealth Movement and joined us to talk about the webinar series called #BuildWealth Half Hour.
