Finding Your Way Out of Poverty Through Ideas and the Quality of Your Thoughts ft. Tiffany Grant
Being Poor or living in proximity to poverty is one of the hardest challenges in America. it’s not only an income issue; there are mental health, physical health, and overall societal neglect to consider. It’s akin to expecting Flowers to boom from concrete.
In 2021, more than 37.9 million Americans lived in poverty according to new data from the U.S Census Bureau. That’s nearly a million more than in 2020. However, if you accord for low-income families that number skyrockets to over 140 million Americans.
Today we discuss with our guest Tiffany Grant from Money Talk with Tiff, as she shares the need for empathy and one-on-one support. She also shares about her money journey, and how financial education and counseling, help to change the narrative.
The unfortunate truth is that “The American poor have access to cheap, mass-produced goods, as every American does. But that doesnโt mean they can access what matters most.” Adapted from Matthew Desmond’s Book, Poverty, By America.

The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences. The podcast exists as proof that while our stories might vary, our destination is the same.
As such, we tell the stories that others don’t. Stories about growth, challenges, obstacles, setbacks, opportunities, and embracing changes. Beyond that, we talk about Finances (if you want us to).
