I have 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.120 a financially intentional podcast all of those amazing things. And 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.920 I'm just honored to be here because I've been asking 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.200 to be on here for a long time. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:28.440 Have you you have? I probably asked or something like that. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.160 Oh girl, Well, this is the fun thing about this 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.800 new format. As I'm realizing we have space for more panelists, 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.719 it was hard to come between me and my girl, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.800 you know what I mean. So tell me about this 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.080 labor and delivery nurse. So this is my question. Your 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.360 full time? You're still at it? 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.880 I'm very much full time right now. Soon not to be. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.000 Okay, it's a balance. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.400 It's a balance. I'd love being a nurse. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.560 I don't like necessarily all of the other stuff that 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.520 comes with just healthcare and the changes and all those 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.400 kind of things. I've been insulated from it for a while. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.839 It has now come into rear its head with budget 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:13.280 issues and staffing issues and people being sick and our 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.400 patient population being sicker. It's a whole bunch of things 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:17.680 that are happening. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.760 But like Mom's you know, moms com I. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.960 Mean, I just had a baby f forty two, so 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.680 you know, I was old as shit, and I'm very healthy, 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.440 and I had a lot of issues. So I work 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:38.440 in Silicon Valley where careers are prioritized heavily. So our 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.280 patient population is keewing older, which means that we have 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.160 a lot more issue. You mean their careers are prioritized 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.080 over Yes, over all of our patients are older. Most 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.600 of our patients are advanced maternal age. Most of our 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:59.960 patients have at least one comorbidity, so they're diabetic, they're hyperatensive. Yeah, 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:05.760 I wasn't diabetic, but I was severely hypertensive and a 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:10.560 whole bunch of other stuff. But yeah, so we deal 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.520 with a lot with that. So that means are it's 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.360 not just a straightforward just delivery, right, we are turning 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:23.000 into more medsurge ICU, which you know, a lot of us, 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.400 depending on what kind of areas you've been trained in, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.800 may not necessarily have that experience. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:31.120 So it was a lot of that. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.560 But then on the other side, you know, first hand 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.240 witnessing some issues with just black women being treated I'm 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.440 fairly in labor in my hometown and dealing with that 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.640 and not just with providers that didn't look like us, 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.960 providers that look like us, but when you're trained in 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.120 under a certain system, you kind of tend to follow 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.760 that system, right, So just like dealing with those things 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.960 and using my platform that I have to bring up 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.120 awareness to it is what I'm passionate about and just 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.280 being able to be unapologetically me just a girl from 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.400 West Oakland. I'm still very hood, but I'm still very educated. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.480 I'm still very smart, and I'm still very experienced, and 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.480 I talk my shit and being able to have a 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.120 platform where I can do that it is very rewarding 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.480 and it's open up a lot of opportunities for me. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.480 So you know, again just honor to be here, honored 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.800 to be in front of people that may or may 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.800 not know me but can see me in this life. 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.000 So it's nice. 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.880 Oh my gosh, yeah, I mean being from the Bay Area, 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.920 you're actually working with the population that like for me, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:43.160 it's like the black black mother mortality rates in this country. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:48.480 It's staggering, it's embarrassing, it's terrifying. And you've gone through 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.480 it three times now. Now you're the age rangers of 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.160 your kids. How white is the age range? 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.199 They're four years apart. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.360 So I'm I have my first at thirty three, my 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.520 second at thirty eight, and. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.800 My last one I forty two. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.080 However, for everyone, I was still high risk in some 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.840 capacity and dealing with that. But yeah, to to experience 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.800 it as a patient, to go through it firsthand, to 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.480 be advocating for women and then not being heard from 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:22.040 that position is another situation in itself too. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:27.080 So it's very interesting. And just like during these. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:33.120 Times, there's a lot of like when you put things 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.400 out there and you share and you try to educate people, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.880 there's a lot of backlash from people who have now 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:44.400 been emboldened to speak up about their prejudices. So like 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.439 trying to fight from their job. No, I'm talking about 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.120 just online. You know the holes all my DEI hires. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.040 This is what happens when you hire a Negro kind 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.720 of come you know, first speaking up. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:57.920 You know, you know how that goes. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.480 He're not and is almost back yard. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:03.000 I love. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.400 But you know what I want to bring up.

There's so much with her mother, 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.480 with her personal story, you know, giving birth and just 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:57.160 her work. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.000 Essentially, she's a doctor and has seen her like firsthand 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.760 so much of what goes wrong in terms of trying 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.760 to get black folks access to the things they need 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:06.640 and heard. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.680 And not like people just assuming oh you're lying. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.960 Or you're or exaggerating or you know, don't you don't 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.720 have the resources to be able to offer you what 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.520 you need, So we're just gonna kind of let you 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.840 wait around and not get the access to life changing 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:21.600 care that you need. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.880 So it's it's it's a lot. I really resonated because 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.200 she's from Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.440 She talked a lot about coming out, Like I was 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.320 just so touched, Like my hairs were standing on end 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:30.600 at the end. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.400 I was crying multiple times throughout the book. So I 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:33.240 highly recommend it. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.760 Yeah, gosh damn it. Yes, Well, ba fan, we're gonna 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.080 have doctor Blackstock on the podcast. And I know I 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.400 was so sad, but she's doing amazing. I mean, that 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.719 book's like a New York Times bestseller. But I'm craving solutions. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.800 I'm craving real advice. I know we didn't plan this 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.360 is not on my run of show, Nasima, but I 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.840 don't care because obviously our audience is this is the 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.960 population that you're trying to take care of. And like 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:05.000 having I've had two, I've had two successful births so far. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.040 I'm thinking about my third. I'm kind of watching you 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:14.200 to see how you're surviving. And fortunately I have had 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.440 very good experiences as far as I know. You know, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.600 But my older sister is in the hospital right now. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.439 Actually she's she's dealing with some complications from us. She's 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.840 a living donor, she donated kidney, and she's dealing with 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.800 some like complications. And I'll tell you the experience. And 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.240 she's a white woman, you know, and my mom is 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.520 a white woman, and they're in Wisconsin, so you know, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.160 this is their people. And then and I'm just saying, like, 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.520 even from her perspective, just being a woman in pain, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.839 because she's dealing with a lot of pain and postop 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.040 that that they couldn't find a surgical reason for, and 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.880 her having to like get them to understand how deeply 0:13:55.400 --> 0:14:00.000 her pain is and take it seriously. It's been so traumatic, 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.960 I mean traumatic for her, dramatic for us in different ways. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.480 But the nursing staff is so crucial. I mean, they're 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.800 the people that you see so often when you're in 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.760 you know, spaces like this, and I yeah, so I 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.160 just I acknowledge the importance of you your role. I 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:24.520 love our you know, our nurses, our healthcare workers and 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.400 even y'all are dealing with so many outside pressures oh yea, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:33.440 and an employment situation like you know, the same corporate 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:38.040 bs that like your accountant or you know, a project 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.920 manager in tech is dealing with you. Guys are also 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.640 in this the ship with us. So you know, it's 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.600 just difficult from patients, from the staff, you know, all 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.680 the way around. Uh was there a question in there somewhere? 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.440 Not I'm a soapbox. I'm just crossing back and have 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:02.800 my eyebrows back it all right? Well, yeah, Nelly, you 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.800 just came back. You're fresh from Switzerland. Dalan, how Isvos? 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:07.640 How is DeVos? 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:08.640 It was in Davos. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.600 So I did to Zurich, which is like the direct flight, 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.200 and then take a train from Zurich to Dovos to 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.720 go to the World Economic Forum, which I was invited 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.840 to go speak on a panel about financial literacy education. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.400 I'm surprised they care about us in Vos. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.200 You know what it is it's like a global conference, right, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.040 so they're talking about what can we do better globally? 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.600 And I do think that even though the US has 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.040 fallen behind in education generally, we are kind of moving 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.320 up to the top in terms of financial education ways, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:42.800 like not necessarily leaders in financial education results, but leaders 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.800 in the wave to make it happen very. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.280 Quickly, because like three years ago, there were only about. 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.760 Eight states that required financial literacy for high school graduation 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.240 and now there's twenty six. So they went and did 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:53.920 some research like, well, how did we go from eight 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.640 to twenty six? We more than tripled access in the US? 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.720 How did that happen? And they found out it's an 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.840 organization that I work with called Mission twenty thirty five. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.880 The reality is the work that we do is nonprofit, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.800 so it's a charity. It's a found operating foundation. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:05.520 So the money. 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.200 If there was not a very, very wealthy person who 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.880 cared about this, like so deeply that they were willing 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.680 to put tens of millions of dollars of their own 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.240 personal well to make it happen, guess what, it just 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.360 wouldn't be happening because there's nothing in the system creating change. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.360 There's someone with a lot of money who said, this 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.240 is what I want to see happen. And so unfortunately 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:26.000 that's the only. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:26.760 Reason it's happening. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.480 But the good thing is it has led to a 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.840 lot of systemic change, and so that's kind of why 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.240 I was saying, like, now we need to figure out 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.840 how to make it happen, even if there isn't a 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.360 person with a lot of money who wants to make 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.120 it happen, but the fact that it should happen because 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.760 it's the right thing to do, and. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.560 Yeah, we got to bake it into the system exactly. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:42.360 It should be baked in. 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.520 It shouldn't be left to philanthropy and to somebody coming 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.360 you know. Like that was one of the things I 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.280 was excited to go because I saw a viral clip 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.840 from like last time the World Economic Form was going viral. 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.280 There was a guy talking about taxes and he was 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:54.800 on the stage. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.320 I don't know if y'all seen this clip. It's like 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:57.400 a middle age. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.320 White man and he's on a panel talking about taxes 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.400 and he was like, I am tired of coming here 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.399 to Davos and hearing people talk about how important philanthropy is. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.080 Stop it. Philanthropy is not the solution. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.400 Taxing the wealthy is the taxing making sure wealthy people 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:14.640 pay their fair share of taxes. 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.000 That's how we solve a lot of. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.280 The systemic issues, instead of pretending that the philanthropy is 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.399 how we solve these problems and just depending on people 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.000 with a lot of money to feel good in their 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.280 heart of hearts and give the money and get a 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:26.119 tax break from it. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:30.120 Like, no, we just need to actually tax the people. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.680 That need to be taxed at the levels of needy 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.919 taxet to be able to sustain the country. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.600 And this also applies globally. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.840 Has anyone checked interpol is that man? Is he okay? 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.200 Have they kidnapped him as he disappeared? Because I don't 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.000 know that kind of philosophy has a place in today's situation. 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.720 Ship right, so that we're in with our current leader. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.160 My god, it's true. 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.400 And that was a couple of years ago. 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.320 And the truth is he's gone on social media and 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.200 said that they've never invited him back ever since he 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:59.400 went on that rant, never invited him that. Well, when 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.439 you go in and tell the truth, now, oh no, 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:02.119 you're going too far. 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:02.760 We don't want to hear it. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.040 We don't want to hear about ourselves. We want to 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.920 believe that these checks. That's such a great point. You 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.800 want to believe that these checks are like that's all 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.359 we gotta do is write a check and then be 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:12.000 done with it. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:14.679 But it was so elitiates. I'm gonna tell you, like 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.879 when you go. The only reason I got access to 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.600 a lot of the events were because I knew someone 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.320 who invited me to go speak on the panel. 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:21.640 And every single time. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.679 I clicked the link and registered, they would email me 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.880 back and say, your submission has been received. We will 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.120 consider whether we're going to let you into this event 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.240 or not. So they tell you register here, But what 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.800 you're doing is actually just letting them know that you 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.800 want to go, and they'll see if you're cool enough. 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.800 Oh you're so funny. All right, Well, did y'all watch 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.280 the Super Bowl? You're all into that? You meant? 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.159 I watched the Catcher concert, and I've heard they were 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.280 playing football during the concert. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:49.639 I don't know. 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.159 Yeah, it was like in the background, you know, it 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.639 was at a stadium. It was interesting. It's part of 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:59.960 the message. Yeah, but damn, I'm still I'm still unpacking 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.160 that performance. What was y'all's what was y'all's take. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.080 You know, First of all, I just have to acknowledge 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:07.920 that Oakland was heavily in the building. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:08.920 Okay. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.560 Bay Area culture is super influential in hip hop world, 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.280 and I just want people to put it, you know, 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.600 give us our flowers. Second of all, the messaging, like 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.640 Kendrick Lamar is very intentional about everything that he does, 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:25.240 and so I think it's gonna take a little while 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.520 to unpack all the subliminals. But I love the Uncle 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.560 Sam that I was so confused. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.679 I did. I mean, I was I was like, what 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.480 am I looking at? And plus I got my kids 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.560 running around, I'm trying to focus, and I'm just like, 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.360 isn't this the Kendric performance. I had just ran from 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.439 the kitchen like probably, you know, chopping up someone's pizza 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.119 into bite sized slices. But and I was like, what 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.280 is that? And I was like, wait, Sam uncle said, 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.520 and then just you could not reach me for the 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.520 next thirteen minutes and thirty eight seconds. Yeah, hilarious. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.800 I love the black men that formed the American flag 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.800 and then Kendrick in the middle on it just looked 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.480 like a struggle. I was like, oh, that imagery was 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:14.080 like that's it, and like how it was very like protective. 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:19.640 It was like very like battlestands, Like you know, I. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:20.840 Didn't see this in that moment. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.640 If you look at the part where they all lean over, 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.880 it's they're they're hovering over, like leaning onto each other's backs. 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.280 And the visual represents the fact that America was built 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.600
