FROM SECTION 8 TO OWNING MULTIPLE HOMES -- MEET THE TEDX SPEAKER WHO FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON POVERTY

Nationwide -- On the heels of his new book entitled Financially Irresponsible, author Rahkim Sabree says that closing the financial literacy gap can be done with the establishment of a team.

"Each one, teach one," he says. "Each one, reach one. If you know, teach. If you don't know, learn." It's a mantra he mentioned he'd grown up with and declares he embodies today.

Having captured the TEDx Hartford audience's full attention, Rahkim Sabree, now 2x author, TEDx speaker, and non-profit co-founder is declaring that conversations around financial education should be had in every classroom, at every dinner table, and during every holiday.

Nationwide -- Michelle Timberlake, founder of Marjorie's Beef Jerky, continues to make history as founder of the only Black woman-owned company in the country that manufactures, distributes and sells it's own brand of beef jerky. Recently, the company drew crowds of people during their appearance at the IGES Trade Show in Tennessee, and even closed some new distribution deals and purchase orders.

Michelle says that she explains to gift store owners/buyers as well as distributors, that her beef jerky products are like no other beef jerky products on the market. "Our beef jerkey is premium meat, high in quality, high in protein, with no MSG or preservatives outside of the soy sauce. Even more, it's only 150 calories per bag," she told them.

Michelle says she created quite an uproar at that trade show in particular. After encouraging those who don't even like beef jerky to try her products, she says that everyone of them all became new customers. (Article continues below)
