| 16 Feb 2023 | Bonus: I Launched a New Podcast "Women of Color Podcasters" | 00:03:06 | |
In 2018 I launched WOC Podcasters (Women of Color), a podcasting community amplifying Women of Color podcasting creatives. Women of Color in the podcasting industry often do not receive the praise and accolades they deserve. Although we celebrate each other within the confines of our communities, the podcasting industry at large has no idea how we are shaping this space. To further amplify our mission, I've launched a new podcast, "Women of Color Podcasters," which is now available on all podcasting platforms. "Women of Color Podcasters" is hosted and produced by Danielle Desir Corbett. Listen on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Or Any Podcast Player Although Women of Color host less than 29% of podcasts, we influence all aspects of the industry, from scripting to producing, technology development, and everything in between. Listen to "Women of Color Podcasters" to discover how we've seized opportunities and overcome challenges and the best advice for making it in the podcasting industry. In the first episode, Debbie Arcangeles, host of The Offbeat Life, shares how she quit her nine-to-five job after successfully monetizing her podcast through podcast sponsorships.

| 01 Nov 2021 | [MWB Series Finale] How We're Building Wealth One Year Later in 2021 | 00:13:34 | |
It's hard to believe that Acquania and I started Millennial Wealth Builders one year ago in 2020. We started this audio docuseries because we wanted to create a space where Women of Color can be celebrated for all of the creative ways they are building wealth. Women of Color are often left out of the wealth-building conversation, and we wanted to change that. Over the last year, we've had the pleasure of documenting the journeys of twelve women, including ourselves. Their stories touched us and inspired us to dream bigger and pursue our audacious financial goals. One year later, Acquania Escarne, the host of The Purpose of Money, is growing her real estate portfolio and prioritizing passive income. Co-host Danielle Desir, the host of The Thought Card Podcast, has quit her corporate career to pursue creative entrepreneurship. Acquania and I close out the series by sharing how we are building wealth one year later, at the end of 2021. We sincerely hope you enjoyed this limited audio series and will grab a copy of the book (yes, we're writing the book!!!) when released in early 2022.

Read blog post: https://thoughtcard.com/delta-companion-certificate/ If you don’t already know, the Delta SkyMiles companion certificate is one of the exclusive perks that come with the Platinum Delta SkyMiles credit card. As a card member, you automatically get a companion certificate every year you renew your credit card and pay the annual fee of $195. To some this might sound steep but hear me out.

| 13 Oct 2022 | 111. Using Guidebooks For Inspiration and Travel Planning With Moon Travel Guides | 00:10:24 | |
Are travel guidebooks still worth it? I was first introduced to travel guidebooks a few years ago while traveling solo in Lisbon, Portugal. A new friend I met at my hostel and I considered what we’d grab for dinner when she whipped out a guidebook. Gauging our interests, we quickly found a highly-rated but low-key restaurant off the tourist path. Since then, guidebooks have become an invaluable resource for inspiration and travel planning, unlocking local gems, tips, and perspectives. In this episode, discover reasons to use a guidebook when travel planning and how Moon Travel Guides helped me plan my first family road trip. This episode is made possible by Moon Travel Guides, a travel guidebook publisher that covers road trips, national parks, and city travel worldwide. All thoughts and opinions shared in this episode are my own. Did you enjoy this episode? Let me know by leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It’ll take less than a minute.

What we loved about Vermont and how we planned a trip during the pandemic. While we wrote off international travel for a few years, it hasn't stopped us from exploring our local area and planning a domestic getaway.

We spent lots of time outdoors during our trip and wandered around town. Did I mention we also saw a Black Bear right in our backyard?
