Student Loan Awareness Month is here, and we need to talk about the real impact. Black women are carrying an unfair share of the student debt burden—holding two-thirds of the debt among women and facing predatory lending practices that make it 20 times more likely for them to default. The system is broken, and we need change. Let’s spread awareness, demand equity, and help lift the weight off our future generations.

We're honored that our co-founder Briana B. Franklin was invited to share her student debt journey with the incredible host of the Finding Fearless podcast, Madeline Reeves.

Through founding The Prosp(a)rity Project and its fintech branch, Cadet Prosparette, she's at the forefront of combating predatory lending and promoting financial empowerment in our communities. Listen in on this episode to hear Bri's take on dismantling debt-based poverty and the unjust economic systems that are deeply intertwined with race and gender. 🎧https://lnkd.in/eYU-tv_R
