As much as I've talked about this subject with my sister-friends over the past few years, the subject of money is one that we shy away from. As black women we refuse to have the most important conversation of our lives. Look around at our communities. They are dying. Our children are dying. We must learn how to talk about money for it is the one powerful thing that causes lack in our lives, our communities. And we will fill in that lack gap by any means necessary. Let's get off that lack merry go round and find out how to have powerful, prosperous lives.
