Episode 69: Equity & Access: Funding the Future of Education & Behavioral Health

Entrepreneurship Xposed (Hosted by Beez)

"Equity & Access_ Funding the Future of Education & Behavioral Health"
Welcome to the EntrepreneurshipXposed Podcast with Beez (IG: @BusinessBuilderBeez) where we Xpose the ins and outs of Entrepreneurship.....with a twist of Business Acquisitions!
🎙️In today's episode, we dived deep into the heart of equity and access in education and behavioral health. Ms. Laster (@openheartleaders) shed light on the systemic barriers hindering African American women from building generational wealth and the pivotal role of mentorship, financial literacy, and access to resources in empowering marginalized communities. We unearthed the damaging effects of the "crab in a barrel mentality" bred from systemic racism and the critical need for representation and self-belief in overcoming impostor syndrome. The inspiring legacy of Reginald Lewis served as a beacon of what's possible when we educate ourselves and our communities about the power of diverse investments beyond real estate.
💡 Harsh realities of political corruption and underfunding that stifle growth for minority-led nonprofits. But there's hope – through collaboration and speaking truth to power, we can pave a path for equitable opportunities. Join the movement. Support change. Fund the future.
💎On the need for education and policy change: 'It would take a mass of educators and elders to reach back, start to teach so that we can build up an intelligence structure of our young people.' -April Laster
