Brown Ambition

How Are We Supposed to Parent Our Parents?


Listen Later

BA Fam! We’re back at the Brown Table with your faves—Yanely Espinal (aka MissBeHelpful) and Chris Browning catching up on all the things.

Mandi shares some big news: her dad got a kidney (!!) and the story behind it will have you in your feels and thinking hard about health in our communities. Then we get into the heavy stuff—yes, the U.S. bombed Iran and what that could mean for your wallet (gas, inflation, cyberattacks... fun times). Plus, why financial content during global messes can feel icky real quick.

We wrap with some NYC political tea and why we keep picking trash mayors. It’s giving heart, humor, and hella perspective—like we do.

💡 What You’ll Hear This Week:

  •  The power of organ donation and one family’s story of hope
  •  The dark side of the dialysis industry (especially in Black communities)
  •  How to show up for aging parents—emotionally and financially
  • The link between war, oil prices, inflation... and your wallet
  • AOC at Newark Airport—meaningful or messy?
  • Why financial educators are struggling with what to post right now
  • NY politics: Why we keep falling for mayors who “seem real”
