For Haitian Americans, it's the closest way for us to express that we are home. This home is safe place. Culture is the total wealth of memories that we carry and share with the world. It is in that culture that we (in the same token, you) are compelled to speak.\n\nIt's interesting to hear from Alainta Alcin's experience of being hardly ever home, yet still finding herself. In this solo episode of the Financial Griot, Alainta gives an emotionally palpable perspective of allowing change to manifest in her life. To think and truly allow herself to be wealthy, where others said \"No.\" \n\nAdditionally, she realizes that at some point, she became the change that the world needed. She earned her Masters, purchased her first home as a single Black woman, and reached over $50,0000 in investments. All to find, that life is the process and that we are the vehicles. Sit back, take notes, comment and like. \n\nThis channel grows with your support and it changes thoughts and ultimately lives. Thank you. "}
