We inherit more than just eye color and family recipes — we carry pain, survival tactics, silence, and scars passed down for generations. In this episode, Karissa opens up a raw and necessary conversation about generational trauma in the Black community — and why healing isn’t a luxury, it’s a responsibility.

You’ll hear:

• How trauma gets passed down emotionally, mentally, and physically

• Why many of us avoid therapy — and why that’s changing

• The cultural weight of being the “strong one”

• Tools for reclaiming peace, softness, and mental wellness

This isn’t about blame — it’s about breaking cycles and choosing healing. The first step? Talking about what’s been left unsaid for far too long.

For too long, we've been fed lies about Africa — that it's dangerous, impoverished, and unworthy of our attention. But here’s the truth: the continent is rich in beauty, culture, opportunity, and legacy. In this episode, Karissa challenges the fear-based narrative and unpacks why travel — especially back to the Motherland — is a necessary move for Black millennials.

Financial knowledge is power, and in a system designed to keep us distracted, uninformed, and dependent, being financially educated is a strategic move.

In this episode, Karissa breaks down the real reason financial literacy matters in the Black community. From credit and budgeting to investing and building generational wealth, she unpacks how knowing the numbers positions us to make bold moves, protect our families, and take control of our future.

This isn’t about chasing status — it’s about understanding the rules, so we can change the game.

By 2053, Black median wealth in America is projected to drop to $0. In this episode, Karissa exposes the historical policies and economic traps that created this crisis — and the bold actions we need to take now to secure our future. It’s not too late to change the outcome.
