My brothers are back, Kinship. Buddy and Mike join me in this amazing conversation on how we can elevate our being in finance, business, community, investing and so much more. Have your pen and paper ready! Original poem by me Kenya Hoover, “My Being” with music by Kinship. This is our final episode for Season 1 “School is in Session”.

This episode we will discuss how we can feed our mind through our education. Education in the black/minority community has gaps. The institution of Education is a form of assimilation which is the most extreme form of acculturation. We have an opportunity to go beyond what is presented so we have revelation that will influence our tomorrow. I have my Aunt Alma Phifer join me in this amazing conversation so we can discuss ways we can feed our minds.
