"Yes I'm a Black single (according to my taxes) woman that bought a home during the Pandemic." In this episode, Alainta Alcin aka ATL share her solo adventure into being a home owner. Although the congratulations came pouring in, before buying a home, the reception was lackluster. Buying a new home is challenging enough, but going through the process without a supportive community is a lot tougher. Beyond the social pressure of being a young millennial woman, you are forced to juggle femininity with its changing dynamics, expenses + inflation, taxes and investments, dating and relationship and now even buying a home. It's been crazy. This episode is for anyone that heard "No" so often that they had to tell themselves "Yes." As always, thanks for the like, share, comments and subscription to the content. See you on the flipside of wealth.

See you on the flipside of wealth.
Here's a bit about our background:
The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the racial wealth gap.
Merriam-Webster defines a Griot as a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.
As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth.
So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win.
