Born Into Poverty: Escaping Death & Creating Opportunities During Covid
Studies have shown that the majority of heart attacks begin on Mondays. Many people are extremely stressed out regarding there work or businesses. Most significantly, covid has brought to light how frontline workers are most vulnerable to tragedy and hardships. This episode covers questions like ," What is generational wealth? How can one be born into poverty? Why is education so important?" Knowledge is power and many communities of color have been denied education and equal opportunities. During slavery, a slave would indeed be murdered if they were caught reading. The slave master understood the power of words and how slaves would realize that they were human just like everyone else. More importantly, they would want to be set free. Frontline workers today in many ways represent a failed disportionate system that leaves individuals working under harsh conditions with very little pay and breathing room in their lives. We find that there are those like my 64 year old father that work 65 hours a week at a construction site just to survive in Colorado. Reparation have not happened yet we are still trying to figure out solutions. Reparations were put in place as a way to generate generational wealth yet this never happened for black people. I want to encourage any community of color to explore entrepreneurship. Everyone has a gift to share with the world. It's never to late to start fresh. In fact, the boomer generation are heading into their 3rd career and are living longer. Don't leave this world without having tried to pursue your dreams. Pass them to new generations. Be encouraged, your Ancestors are the Answers. They have overcome hardships beyond what we can imagine and found glory in kindness, humility, and dignity. Slaves are depicted as ignorant, dirty, animals without having knowledge of self. This is why the younger generation are ashamed of their past. If you only knew the truth of the royal Dynasty inside of you. Many of you are still struggling with similar issues as your ancestors. You will not be set free until you find the answers within.
