17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Now? Let's get this. Give us the name of your

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: is it a nonprofit?

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: It is a nonprofit, Grow Give prosper.

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: How did you come up with that name, you know.

21
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: What, actually, because that's what I want to see my

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 2: community do. I want us to grow together so that

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: we can give to each other and then prosper as

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: a collective. So that's how I came up with that name.

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Of how long you long have you had the foundation?

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,639
Speaker 2: I have been in the financial education since about twenty

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: seventeen and I started the nonprofit of twenty twenty three.

28
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, so you said financial education. Can you give

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: us a little of your background from a financial literacy

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: standpoint before we get into the interview.

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: Okay, sure. So it all started when I was a

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: human resource and off manager at a very prominent medical

33
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: facility here in the state of Georgia. And one thing

34
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: I noticed, from the people who had the PhDs to

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: the ones who had the GEDs, every time we sat

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: down to do that tax paperwork, it leveled the playing field.

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: So that's when I realized that financial education doesn't matter

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: who you are, what you look like. It's a matter

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: of accessibility.

40
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, so, I have a math degree, Cassandra,

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: I am scared to death to do my taxes. I

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: have never in my life the easy form nothing I've

43
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: always paid somebody to do my taxes. So when you

44
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: say level the playfield you're talking about Rishan McDonald, I

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: am a person. Go can you do my taxes please?

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: Because I'm confused. So let's talk about you and what

47
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. When you say the word community,

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: what do you mean when you are whole you or

49
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: referencing When you say the word community.

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: A community, I'm talking about the people that I encounter

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: in my daily life walking outside, going to the grocery store,

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: going to the restaurant, going to the library. You know,

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: in my traditional nine to five. These are people who

54
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: I consider a part of my community. And what I

55
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: realized is that, like I mentioned before, it didn't matter

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: what their background was. We all had the same struggle

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: and the difference was that nobody was talking about it.

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: So to me, community is just everybody who has the

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: same need that needs to get that outreach and to

60
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: get that education.

61
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Now, if you're not, if you got like halfway listening

62
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: to the show, I want you to stop and focus

63
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: on the show because this is the reason, one of

64
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: the many reasons I brought her on the show for

65
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: this interview. Her partnership with Grow with Google. That's the

66
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: name of it. Grow with Google. Now, Google is what

67
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: we're about to concentrate on and what they're doing with

68
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: your foundation. Talk to us about what is Grow with Google.

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: Grow with Google is a tremendous outreach initiative that Google

70
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: has delivered to community partners like myself, where we are

71
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: delivering career certification scholarships to any and everyone who wants it,

72
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: specifically justice impacted, specifically economically impacted communities that may not

73
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: have access to that level of education due to financial restraints.

74
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: So Google is now saying that, hey, we want to

75
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: give you a chance to thrive to So we're going

76
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: to give you a chance to get a career certification

77
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: entry level into cybersecurity, data analytics, digital marketing, e commerce,

78
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: IT support, project management, UX design, which is user design,

79
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: which is those apps and websites. So Google is now

80
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: leveling the playing field. They're saying, you don't have to

81
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: have an IVY League education in order to make an

82
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: earnable a livable wage.

83

00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: you can't repoll that degree, which means you can't take that.

136

147
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: currently available. We have cybersecurity. You know, if you're the

150
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,559

151
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: couple of days ago about a cyber attack that happened,

152
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: you know, I think it was in the city of Atlanta.

153
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,440

154
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: who can recognize these attacks before they happen, cybersecurity is

155

00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: marketing and e commerce. We're all over the website. We're

159
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: all out here shopping online. Digital marketing and e commerce.

160
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: That's gonna tell you. You know previously where I said

161
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: you're going to show the businesses where the money where

162
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: you are the one that's making the money. You are

163
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: putting your product or products for other people online and

164
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: making it avail and making it available for them to

165
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: purchase it. Support so you can stack it support with cybersecurity.

166
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: You are providing daily maintenance to laptops, phones, computers. It

167
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: support project management. Now, when I mentioned that you can

168
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: get several certifications, these are certifications that you can stack.

169
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: So can you imagine stacking project management with a data

170
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: analytics certification? And then finally ux design. So when I

171
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: say that it may sound Greek to a lot of people,

172
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: but think about it. These apps, Instagram, all the websites

173
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: that you go to. UX design means user experience design.

174
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: You're designing the experience that the person who's on that

175
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: app is using. So I remember one time with my

176
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 2: baking app, I had an issue with getting my password.

177
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: Every time I would log out to get the password

178
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: and come back in, the app would close. Somebody saw

179
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: that and they fixed it. So that's what that user

180
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: experience design. Along that line, that's what you would be learning.

181
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: Now let's ask you this, Sandra Cassandra. First of all,

Speaker 1: Okay, cool, listen, So you have three other scholarships available, yes, nationwide, Yes,

218
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: master class. Now we're about to We're going worldwide with you,

219
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: domestic US, Continental, USA, opportunities to register. Now, let's talk

220
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: about you, said Rashelle, You and Perl that's the name

221
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: of her vehicle going up and down road. When you

222
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: go in these classes, what has been the reaction or

223
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: have you been disappointed in the reaction.

224
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: Actually, I am being well received. The program is being

225
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: well received. The thing about it is that you are

226
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: changing I'm changing minds. People are, you know, thinking that

227
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: I'll never be able to get out of the situation.

228
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 2: I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul And when they realized

229
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: that you have an opportunity, and what I wanted to

230
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: do was be credible. So I did some vetting on

231
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: the back end and I asked people who are in

232
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: hiring positions in it. Would you hire somebody with a

233
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: GED and a Google certification. A couple of people told

234
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: me who graduated college with a master's degree, He said

235
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: they lost out on their first job because they didn't

236
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: have a certification to a person who did. So it's valid.

237
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: It's legitimate, and the people that I meet, they are overjoyed.

238
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 2: Some of them might be a little skeptical at first,

239
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: but once they realized that it's legitimate. I initially had

240
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: about five hundred scholarships, so we've had so many people

241
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: to enroll that now that number has went down.

242
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: To three hundred. Come on, girl, gid you said a

243
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: Ronald Bloyd. That's two hundred potential people. You've changed lives.

244
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: Please don't go anywhere.

245
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: We'll be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass.

246
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Money Making Conversations Masterclass hosted by

247
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,359
Speaker 3: Rashan McDonald.

248
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: But their opportunities like you are being able to mind,

249
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: you are being able to create that have been brought

250
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: into our community that is leveling the playing field, and

251
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: by earning this opportunity to get certified, that they can

252
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: get a job, a career, a career. Thank you very much.

253
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Excuse me for saying that. Now, let's talk about a

254
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: little bit more about you, because I wanted to get

255
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: that out at the top of the conversation because I

256
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: want the people to hear exactly the opportunity that your

257
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: foundation brings to the table and is changing lives. The

258
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: importance of financial literacy, that's a financial literacy is a

259
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: huge buzzword in the community. What does financial literacy mean

260
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: to you?

261
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: Financial literacy means to me that you understand the words,

262
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: You hear the conversation and it's not Greek to you.

263
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: You have tools that you can use to manage your

264
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: expenses on a daily basis, that you understand how this

265
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: applies to you. I heard a song from one of

266
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: our famous young female rappers who says that she doesn't

267
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: give an f about a credit score. I'm sure she's

268
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: changed her mind since then because she's realized. She's realized

269
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: that you better care about that credit score. That's going

270
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: to make the difference in your borrowing potential and how

271
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: much money you have to pay back. So financial literacy

272
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: means that we understand the conversation and we know what

273
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: it means and how it applies to our daily life.

274
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: So what's a misconception, Like you said, you have a

275
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: rapper out there talking to the generation of people telling

276
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: them don't care about the credits cade what you and

277
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: I know that's a value. That's a value proposition. To

278
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: have your credits code anywhere above seven hundred, you get

279
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: in an eight hundred you and as they say, platinum,

280
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: platinum zone. There. Absolutely I'm talking to Cassandra Lester her

281
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: foundation Grow excuse me, Grow Give prosper as partner with

282
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: initiatives like Grow with Google to offer certifications, scholarships aim

283
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: to enhance career opportunities for underserved communities. So would you

284
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: say that's your that's your mission.

285
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yes, it is. That's my mission. And a lot

286
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: of people know me. They kind of because I'll go

287
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: off on a tangent in a minute, you know, I'll

288
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: start talking about you know, protection, I'll start talking about

289
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: ways to increase your earning potential. Well, first of all,

290
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm passionate. I don't go I do workshops twice a month,

291
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: and when I go into these workshops, I'm not just

292
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: doing a lecture. I'm really connecting with my audience and

293
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: I want them to feel why I'm so passionate behind it.

294
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 2: I do workshops twice a month, and when I go

295
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: into these workshops, I'm not just doing a lecture. I'm

296
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: really connecting with my audience and I want them to

297
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: feel why I'm so passionate behind it. So I'm not

298
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: just sitting up there reading a paper. I'm really talking

299
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: to my audience. I'm asking them questions, you know. And

300
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: the green doesn't hurt, but definitely left. And I left

301
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: out of one workshop and I was like, dang, I

302
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: feel like I was in the poolpit because I really

303
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: engage with my community partners when they invite me into

304
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: these sessions. I talk to these people like their life

305
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: depends on it.

306
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm going to tell you something. I

307
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,040

Speaker 1: it's all about if I can use my brand like

312
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm using my brand of this show to let everybody

313
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: know about these career changing opportunities with these Google scholarships,

314
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: and all they have to do is visit your website

315
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: to register. They have a time commitment three to six months,

316
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: because each certification or scholarship has a time period of

317
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: commitment you have to do to become qualified and earn

318
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: the scholarships that's what we're talking about, and I'm just

319
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: talking to everybody in general. This is not tied to

320
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: a degree person. This is not tied to a person

321
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: who feels there they can't qualify. If you have a ged,

322
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: if you ever, if you didn't finish draw college, drop out,

323
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: the high school graduate, anybody who's doing a job that

324
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: you're not happy with this interview is something. Or you

325
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: have a relative, it's your husband, your wife, your partner,

326
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: your son, your daughter, your cousin, your nephew. Tell them, look,

327
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: don't give up. If you want to change your life,

328
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: that's what your foundation is all about, and that's what

329
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: you're doing. You're trying to really get them into the

330
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: financial literacy conversation, correct, Cassandra, I am.

331
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: I am, Because we lose so much money doing you know,

332
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 2: going to predatory lending options. So it's a vicious cycle

333
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: once you get in. But once you understand where you

334
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: went wrong or where you have been misled, then you

335
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 2: can understand where you need to make those corrections and

336
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: move forward toward a more positive outcome.

337
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Well, you know the thing about it is that just

338
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: because you want to do good does not mean everybody

339
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: want you to do good a position you to do good.

340
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: It's Andrew. You know, I've been frustrated in my life

341
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: because I try to bring individuals like you on on

342
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: my show. I'm pretty sure you're cheerleader for change. Tell

343
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: us some of the roadblocks that you've had to hop over,

344
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 1: going around, or in fact run over to have an

345
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: interview like this on this show. Wow.

346
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: Some of the roadblocks just encountering people who minimize the

347
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: impact of obtaining financial literacy. And the very first workshop

348
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: I held, I asked them, why don't you want to

349
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: talk about this? And a couple of them, I don't

350
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: want you in my pocket. This is my business. You

351
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about ain't gonna help me. And

352
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: then also just you know, the community as a whole,

353
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: certain demographics don't like to talk about money. They feel

354
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: like it's intrusive. And then also because I am a

355
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: small nonprofit, a lot of times I'm not taking seriously

356
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: by some of the bigger ones. I remember one time

357
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: I went to apply for a grant and I saw

358
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: one of my constituents apply for the same grant and

359
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: they got the grant and they told me, oh, sorry,

360
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: we don't do that. And I was like, but I

361
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: just saying you'll give her like ten thousand dollars, so

362
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: you know, but despite it all, and I'm gonna tell

363
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: you something. I quit every day and then I'll get

364
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 2: a phone calls like, mister Sandra, are you coming to

365
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: the center this weekend?

366
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: Are you coming on Saturday?

367
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be back down there.

368
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: I know the frustration, gleader. That's why I'm offering you.

369
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm very serious about that. You you let me know,

370
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put it into my accounts and I'm

371
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna come down because it don't take me long to preach,

372
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: and then it will will not take me long to

373
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: be able to tell these people this side all things.

374
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: In my degree in math manager, my minder was in

375
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: sociology and computer science, so I'm a computer juesusiene nerd

376
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: I were in college. I almost went and got my

377
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: degree in mis management information system. So I've always been

378
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: a person that's aware of data management and data security. Now,

379
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: with that being said, let's tell everybody. Google didn't come

380
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: to you.

381
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: The relationship started because I'm out here for my people.

382
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: You know, you have a person that understands how important

383
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: this is. And even though some people may not quite

384
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: get it yet, that's not going to stop me from

385
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: trying to get stuff that's going to be good for them.

386
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: So I actually was using Google for a different capacity,

387
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: and then I was on a webinar and they were

388
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: just talking about some of the other products that were

389
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: offered and they, you know, it's certain requirements that had

390
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: to be met, and they were like, if you want

391
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: to offer these scholarships to your community to help your

392
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: community increase their earning potential. And I'm going to repeat

393
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 2: something that I said earlier, Justice impacted communities, low income communities.

394
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: Google is intentionally looking to see these communities to give

395
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: them an opportunity to level up if you will. So

396
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: once I heard that, I said, this is what we need,

397
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: you know, because you can't talk about managing finances if

398
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: you really don't have anything coming in. You know, it's possible,

399
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 2: but ultimately being able to earn a living is the

400
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: first pillar in financial literacy increasing your earning potential. So

401
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: when I heard that that wasn't an opportunity, I jumped

402
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 2: on it. I you know, like I was obsessed.

403
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: I was.

404
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: I wrote three, four or five different you know pitches,

405
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: and finally I settled on one. I submitted it and

406
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,239
Speaker 2: it seemed like forever getting a word back. And then

407
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: when I got the word back, they were like, you're

408
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: approved and you know, this is what and this is

409
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: how it goes and good luck. And I was like, wow,

410
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: thank you, you.

411
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,440

Speaker 1: get it down to zero. Our goal is to make

418
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,760

Speaker 1: And that's what I want to do to mentor you.
