Tandia Talks Money

It’s Women’s History Month and this year’s campaign is all about breaking the bias. The role of women in finances has most certainly evolved over the years and there is no doubt women are slaying the financial game while also keeping up with the Joneses. But, there is still some way to go and bias very much present when it comes to finances. One example of this is the pink tax, which is a system of discriminatory pricing on products and services based on gender. On today’s episode, Carla discusses ways to fight back against this tax and collectively help break financial gender bias. So, if you’re getting revved up reading this, throw on some Destiny’s Child and keep shattering those ceilings one bit of knowledge at a time.
