The Financial Griot is a Homage to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" Series

Bet you didn't know that the Financial Griot podcast is an homage to the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series.  For the Digitals aka Gen Z before Harry Potter and the Twighlight series, there was Goosebumps and Chicken Soup.Our goal with the podcast to build a library of stories that the next generation can pull from in order to be successful. Like Lawrence stated before, "our actions today write the future's history," as such we have to make it count. Along with Lovely and Alainta, they discuss what it means to be 1st generation Black millennial living in the US starting from zero and striving for me.  Here's a bit about our background and who we are:The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the racial wealth gap. Merriam-Webster defines a Griot as a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth. So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win. Connect with TFG Crew: Alainta Alcin - Blogger, Travel and Money Enthusiast @its_alaintaLovely Merdelus - Entrepreneur and Small Business Growth Specialist @lovelymerdelusLawrence Delva-Gonzalez - Federal Auditor, Blogger and Tax Specialist @theneighborhoodfinanceguy
