13 Top Black Personal Finance YouTube, Blogging and Podcasting Motivators
With current events that have gripped the nation recently, I wanted to share some of my favorite black-owned businesses within the personal finance community.
This list is not exhaustive and I certainly encourage you to find BIPOC (black, indiginous, people of color) accounts that inspire you on your own.
