The Perspective of the Learner
Manage episode 508012072 series 3574579
Now that we know the origins of financial literacy, we can better understand why the larger financial education system encompassing financial literacy has embedded legacies of white supremacy. For years, the prevailing message has been that anyone can budget, save, borrow, and invest their way out of financial hardship, and even oppression—but that mindset is shifting.
In this episode, Chloe and her guest Michelle Samuels-Jones, Ed.D discuss this pivotal turning point. They explain why financial education is evolving to recognize identity and cultural competency as essential to financial education. They will also discuss practical strategies and approaches they continue to learn about, amplify and support to model financial education can—and should—engage people in a more inclusive and equitable way.
