This episode continues on the theme of income inequality. Our current system has a feedback loop that works to keep rich families rich, and poor families poor. Wealthy families send their kids to the best schools, provide enrichment and support through tutoring, after school programs, sports and counseling. These advantages last a lifetime. Further, with these competitive advantages, the earning power of family members remain above those in less fortunate families. However, we have a subsystem of service to others and charitable giving that can make a difference in peoples lives. Today we are speaking with Lauren Patrizio Xaba who has created SquashDrive. This organization provides tutoring, academic counseling, college admission counseling, financial counseling, as well as after school enrichment programs, summer camps and Squash training. These programs for under served children in Oakland and the East Bay help children succeed in college and beyond. While Covid 19 has created additional challenges for SquashDrive, the organization has pivoted and keeps serving those in need. Learn how to help and take action.
