16 Nov 2023
00:28:37
Join us on a special Brunch and Budget bonus episode as Dyalekt and Pam dive into the remarkable journey of Esusu, the company that evolved from digital sousus to a groundbreaking credit-building platform. In this two-part series, we bring you an exclusive interview with Samir Goel, the co-CEO of Esusu, who shares the story of their pivot and the mission to bridge the racial wealth gap.
Discover how Esusu leverages rental data to empower individuals in building credit, challenging the conventional credit system. Samir unveils the company's innovative approach, focusing on the b2b side to make credit-building accessible to everyone. Learn how landlords and renters alike can benefit from this unique system that encourages on-time payments and provides 0% interest financing in times of financial strain.
In this episode, we explore the journey of Esusu from its early days to achieving a remarkable $1 billion valuation, making it one of the few black-owned unicorns globally. Samir shares insights into their commitment to using data to close the racial wealth divide and create sustainable change in the financial landscape.
Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion on capitalism, financial literacy, and the power of data to transform lives. Congratulations to Samir and Esusu for being named one of Time magazine's 100 Next in 2023. Tune in and be inspired by a conversation that goes beyond finance, touching on the impact of Esusu's mission on individuals and communities.

Surprise! We’re back, and so is the looming possibility of a recession. Some folks say it’s inevitable, some say we still have time to prevent it.
But, what the heck is it? How do we know we’re in a recession? Is there some kind of announcement?
In part 1 of our Recessions arc, we share what a recession is, what the indicators are, who is most affected by it (3 guesses) and the ways past recessions have brought out the racism in people and institutions.
Season 2 of the Brunch & Budget podcast will share 3 part arcs of big topics: Part 1 is KNOW - what are the key things you need to understand about the topic, the bigger systemic picture around it, and where the racial wealth divide fits in Part 2 is FEEL - how do you integrate the topic into your personal relationship with money and unpack the behaviors, reactions, and habits around it Part 3 is DO - we take you through Brunch & Budget’s 5 Stages to Financial Legacy so you have clear action steps for what to do at every stage of your finances

Feat. DREAM by Dyalekt & Dedrick Asante-Muhammad Listen here
May 2021. That was the last time we posted a podcast episode. One of our most favorite, nourishing, life giving things we did gave way to the weight of… everything else.
We had a false start in January of this year. We recorded a segment with our favorite regular guest, Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, and he rocked it of course. But then the pressure to be “good” got to me. Every segment we recorded didn’t sound right. We were out of practice and forgot why it was fun in the first place.
Finally, we had heard ourselves complain about it enough. We reached out to greenhouse studios and booked studio time. The first 40 minutes of recording, we had that same sinking feeling back in January. Luckily, we booked 4 hours of studio time and by the second hour, we were laughing again.
One of the big lessons we’re learning this year is how to prioritize the things that give us life, the things we do for us as much as we do for other people. The podcast is one of those things.
After 245 episodes in season 1 we are extremely excited to bring you season 2 of the Brunch & Budget podcast starting August 11. We hope you love it as much as we do.
#247: PREACH: Has the Racial Wealth Divide Been Co-Opted?
10 May 2021
00:52:06
Has talking about the racial wealth divide become conversational quicksand, where we think that people talking about it are considering the problem in its totality and actually trying to solve it but they're actually applying a band aid to a gaping wound by saying the right words so we keep buying their products(looking at you Apple)?This week we're joined by Dedrick Asante-Muhammad for another PREACH episode and we took a deep dive into corporations and the racial wealth divide. We talked about authenticity, what systemic racism actually means, and how the feeling of being personally racist factors into all of this.
#246: The Unavoidable Tax Talk with Darren Liddell
13 Mar 2021
01:08:32
It's time for our annual tax episode! This year, we sit down with Darren Liddell, one of our See Change coaches and a seasoned tax preparer (he shows off his 10 year VITA pin on the show!) who breaks down taxes through a news lens. By the end of the episode, you'll learn how to take advantage of the tax changes during COVID (and make sure you get that stimulus payment!), how to maximize your deductions, the biggest tax mistakes people make, and why refunds are actually a total scam.
#245: It's Not that You're Lazy, It's That They're Lying to You
09 Mar 2021
00:58:59
You know the Lazy Susan(tm)? The mini Gravitron where your sauces or spices turn for everyone at the table? Why is it lazy, and Why Susan? Markus Krajewski, professor of Media History at University of Basel, Switzerland, and author of The Server: A Media History from the Present to the Baroque says, "In all probability, Susan was a generic name rich homeowners addressed their maidservants with through the 18th century. "Laziness was a common complaint against servants (at the time), so ‘lazy Susan' must have been a usual term since the 18th century,"
THESE ASSHOLES HAVE BEEN CALLING WORKERS LAZY AS LONG AS WE’VE HAD WORDS!!!
"Villain" has origins in stereotyping farmhands as "lazy" Africans were enslaved because they were "lazy" Mexicans are paid lower wages because they’re "lazy" Nobody wants to raise the minimum wage for fry cooks because our financial system has a vested interest in seeing servants as "lazy" so we can justify becoming overseers.
Placing ostensibly reasonable words over untenable practices is the same ol’ okey doke. This week we talk about the myth (yes MYTH) of Personal Responsibility. It’s not what you think it is.
You are not lazy. You are not stupid. You are not alone.
They used to be lying, stealing, screaming f*ck your feelings Now they’re crying, pleading for unity and healing History is written by the richer, not the winners
We’re seeing it happen as we tweet
History tells us that desegregation fixed America It admits that separate was never equal As if separation was America’s only evil
Racial discrimination is like a nuclear bomb Communities that aren’t destroyed by explosion Often end up dying by fallout
The explosion was the sound of millions of white customers Ignoring Black businesses
Even as Black customers shopped at white owned businesses With a sense of pride
Because unity and healing
Also the places you weren’t looking at didn’t desegregate Schools are the same place they were in the 60’s
#243: The Racist History of Insurance & Why You Need It Anyway
14 Feb 2021
00:58:46
Hey there,
It's Black History Month, and we're always ready to call out some sh*t about the finance industry. Here's some f*cked up history for you:
The history of insurance is racist.
NY Life started in the 1800's by insuring enslaved Africans lives - if a slave died, the insurance company would pay the slavemaster for their life. Fastforward to the 80's and 90's when Walmart started buying "dead peasant" life insurance policies where if an employee died, Walmart got paid out. POC have always had a complicated relationship with insurance - it's an exploitative industry where salespeople are incentivized to take advantage of their clients. It's also one of the best ways to protect the wealth you've built and pass it on to the next generation. This week, we explore the racist history of insurance and why you need it anyway. By the end of the podcast, you'll know exactly what insurance you need to buy to protect your wealth at every stage of life.
So what’s going on with this GameStop thing? Did Reddit take down a multi-billion dollar hedge fund? What’s a hedge fund?
If you’ve been hearing about GameStop nonstop for the last few days and want to know all the drama and what it might mean for the stock market as a whole and your personal investments, join us today at 2pm EST to learn all about it. We invited back Kevin Matthews of Building Bread to help us break down what the heck happened, all the investment terms you need to know and discuss the cultural and economic significance of this event.
We don't know about you, but we're tired of hearing out of touch celebrity millionaires (looking at you, Diddy) who keep telling us we should have been hustling even harder in the middle of a global pandemic. We are TIRED! But more importantly, hustle culture prevents us from interrogating the system of oppression it was built upon. Instead of advocating for our own labor/worker rights, we're pitted against each other. Instead of giving ourselves space to rest and recharge, we feel forced to work until burnout.
Hustle does not equal abundance. Hustle only leads to more hustle.
By the end of this podcast, you'll know how to knock the hustle and still have enough money to create a balanced financial life.
#239: Pros & Cons of Workers Co-Ops w/ Ajoke Williams & Anh-Thu Nguyen
03 Oct 2020
00:59:07
As part of our COVID-19 relief and business saving efforts, DAWI is launching a hotline this month for small businesses, especially in communities of color, interested in converting to worker ownership, and we're doing it in partnership with NYC Department of Small Business Services.
How many of us really love our bank? It feels like an entity that we have to do business with but always begrudgingly and always with a hint of how are they going to screw me over this time? In this episode we talk about this history of banking and how it got to be this way through various acts of deregulation and how we can ask our banks to do better.
Parisian poet Anatole France said "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
He was poeting about how laws penalize desperate actions borne of need while largely ignoring crimes inspired by greed. We've all heard stories about people spending years in prison or being killed for stealing food, while corporations that rob employees of breaks and overtime pay get off with a fine. We always assumed the corporations got off easy due to a combination of hiring expensive lawyers and the difficultness of deciding who to lock up when an entire company is at fault.
Turns out the real answer is worse: In most states, wage theft has no carceral penalty. Nobody goes to jail for stealing from workers. Victims of wage theft have to file a civil suit to get their money back. Most people can't afford to sue, so plenty of perpetrators don't even have the blemish of a lawsuit on their record. How many celebrity entrepreneurs and big name companies would be out of business if they faced the same consequences for stealing that everyone else does?
#236: How to invest in yourself without spending a dime.
21 Aug 2020
01:00:44
We are talking about how to invest in yourself without spending money and what is investing in yourself vs. self care? Where do we start with investing in ourselves and what does that even really mean?
MJ from Advisory Avenue joins us for this episode to talk about knowing your worth, how, why and when you should go to HR, approaching and preparing yourself to have "the raise" conversation and really proving and showing your value to a company during a pandemic!
#234: When it comes to investments, all times are uncertain w/ Kevin Matthews
29 Jul 2020
01:02:15
We were so happy to have Kevin Matthews on the show to explain how to think about investing during the pandemic and create an investment plan that weathers all uncertain times.
#232: How to talk to your parents about money (redux)
13 Jul 2020
01:02:47
We're going to talk about how to talk to your parents about money for real. I think it's something that I know has been on a lot of our clients minds. Especially with COVID, especially with parents getting older, we work with a lot of millennials who have found themselves having to not only adult for themselves, but also adult for their parents.
The prison industrial complex is basically the privatization of prisons. The government and prisons are working together to expand the prison population for the sake of profit. And that's basically what it is. What they've done is prisons have been cited as job creators and the use of inmate Labor has kept costs down. That is what they said and they created jobs by imprisoning people and paying slave labor wages.
#229: Put your money where your mouth is - dismantling systemic racism with your dollars
11 Jun 2020
01:11:02
Put your money where your mouth is! In this episode we talk about dismantling systemic racism with your dollars, ways to support POC businesses and also some great recommendations on POC businesses.
Managing Credit In A Time Of Crisis. This topic is on a lot of people's minds. I think that when it comes to our debt, especially during this pandemic, it can feel like even more of a burden. It can feel even more like something that we feel like is an even bigger mistake. Something we wish we got rid of sooner.
#225: How to budget during a pandemic + your IG Live questions answered!
13 May 2020
01:05:08
Questions answered: I'm wondering if you have advice for me or others in my situation. I have a small business as a sole proprietor LLC (I'm the only employee) and just received a SBA PPP loan on Friday.
AND I also had applied for PUA early April as a freelancer and the partial unemployment just went through and was accepted. Any ideas of what to do? I imagine I can't take both
—
I had a quick question about PPP loans now that I've been offered one: From what I've read, it sounds like any amount of the loan that goes towards payroll and other eligible expenses (office rent, etc.) during the eight weeks following the disbursement of the loan will be forgiven.
As a freelancer, I'm wondering how I will "prove" these payroll expenses--i.e. do I need to show that my freelance income was lower than it was based on the previous year? I'm just trying to get a sense of what paperwork will be used to assess this.
--
any advice on how I can get creditors to pause or lower interest rates during these times would be helpful. The efforts I’ve made thus far, they won’t budge.
--
How should I think about getting a car in the city?
#224: Exposing Loopholes in the CARES Act + Your IG LIVE questions answered!
06 May 2020
00:53:43
Our first IG Live! Today we're talking about how the CARES Act wasn't made for us, as usual, but what you can do within it anyway.
Questions answered: Did anyone in there bring up the subject of being asked to come back in to work or have you discussed with others what to do in that situation?? I'm working remote now but they're telling me I have to go back to the office with no real substantive reason --
I have been freelancing- I usually get paid via payroll and receive a W2. I filed for unemployment, I live in NJ & applied to both states(note sure if I will get approved in NY or NJ) and I put the last employer that I was working hours were reduced due to Covid and this past Friday, I was officially released, no active projects, all Covid related. Did I file correctly using my recent employer's info or should I have used myself?
Can you also clear up if someone is fully 1099 that they will receive benefits as well, filing all info as "self employed?" Will qualify for both Federal & state or just Federal? --
if I work in a state I don’t live in (i.e. CA) as a contract worker and was told I can apply for unemployment by my boss... but I don’t live CA, I live in NY. Do I apply to CA or NY? --
Are the $1200 checks a “loan” or will it reduce my tax refund next year? --
I wanted to learn more about how the federal loans are being paid off. I thought it was just a forbearance.

Hi there! I have a question/need advice on my student loan situation that I was hoping you could answer at your IG live today... I have $4500 left and I applied for student loan forgiveness because my school (DeVry) made false claims and a lawsuit was settled back in 2018. In December, my application was finally added to the queue for review-yes it took 2 years for that. So it's been in administrative forbearance since then and I only paid interest on it in January and February. My question is: should I pay it off or wait to hear back to see if it'll be forgiven partially or wholly? I have about $1500 in other debt that I should be done with by end of June.
Thank you for your time and ALL that you do for us. I have been a fan for years 💜💜💜💜
