Bonus Episode: Who is Black History Month Really For?

Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 10:53

In this bonus episode of Money for Plantain, Dionne asks the question: who is Black History Month really for?

Every October in the UK, companies either go all out with logos, events and LinkedIn posts… or they do nothing at all. But beyond corporate gestures, what role do we play as Black employees and communities in shaping the meaning of BHM?

Dionne shares candid thoughts on performative recognition, advocacy burnout, and why waiting for permission to celebrate ourselves isn’t the move. Instead, she explores how collective ownership can turn frustration into real momentum.

🔑 Topics in this episode:

Corporate performativity vs authentic recognition
The power (and limits) of employee resource groups
Why advocacy burnout is real, but community shifts the weight
Challenging ourselves: what’s the BHM narrative where you work?

This is not your usual polite Black History Month chat, it’s a call to own our stories, take up space, and celebrate ourselves whether or not the company intranet remembers to.

Bonus Episode - 9–5 Goals, But Make It Sexy

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 08:20

This isn’t your usual episode — it’s a little bonus drop for anyone stuck in the 9–5 cycle and wondering how to actually set goals that work for you, not just your manager’s spreadsheet. We’re talking professional, emotional, and financial safety, the three non-negotiables, and how to weave them into your career goals so you’re not just surviving at work, you’re moving with intention.

I’ll also walk you through figuring out your working style, how you play in a team, and why that matters when you’re mapping out where you want to go.

Oh, and I want your feedback, should these bonus episodes stay raw and unfiltered, or do you prefer the polished vibe with music? Hit me up and let me know.

Season 1 · Episode 1

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 • Duration 09:48

In this first episode of Money for Plantain, Dionne Maxwell asks the question: why has Black History Month become “Black Month”? She explores how visibility events and panels often overshadow the history that inspired the month in the first place.

Plus, a quick quiz at the end to test if you were really listening!
