11 mins in and this woman has me in tears 🙌🏾 The way she speaks with so much intentional thought and purpose! Halelluja Thank you for this interview EYL!!

[@Nahml]

I know EYL has heard this before, but I would say this again your names would be in the history books. You all are giving us power, giving us tools to change our lives, no matter what circumstances we face. Greatness can be achieved, this episode is a diamond. Don’t stop sharing, and educating us.❤❤.

[@denigwasira]

This is one of them ones that absolutely everyone needs to watch and take lots of notes. Even worth running back again… Tashanda delivered a great message here. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@thesrobinson848]

Agree!!

[@AnitaJonse]

I'm favoured, $60k every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

[@Evansdavis568]

Same here, with my current portfolio made from my investments with my personal financial advisor I totally agree with you

[@charlotteelizabeth3017]

Wow! Kind of in shock you mentioned expert,elizabeth ann graney. What a coincidence!!

[@jones12455]

Life is easier when the cash keeps popping in, thanks to Elizabeth Ann graney services. Glad she's getting the recognition she deserves

[@Jamesphilip-jz8wh]

I use to work 3 jobs, full time at Walmart, a server at night and Lyft on the weekend, untill Elizabeth Ann graney change my story.

[@melia588]

Such a genuine personality!!, Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and stick to Elizabeth Ann daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.

[@thr1vemedia]

I'm happy Thasunda is getting the added visibility she deserves through this platform. Great interview, EYL!

[@123toles]

I wish I contributed in my 401k when I started my job at the 19 looking back at 31 now.. I would have so much more if i didn’t waste money on cars. But I got it together paid off all of my debt except my mortgage. I built a 6 Month emergency fund and In 2021, I started maxing out my 401k and IRA and y’all that money really does work and compound. Keep going.

[@tonyab778]

This conversation was powerful! I plan to use the information from this video to reassess my purpose and establish clarity on what impact I want to manifest. Everyone who listen to this dialog should pause to reflect on their mission. I plan to listen to this again and again until I see my harvest. Thanks, EYL.

[@H2commsNet]

I needed all this, I’ve tried my hand at multiple entrepreneurial ventures that failed. I entered corporate America and have risen through the ranks, I beat myself up at times because I’m not active in the entrepreneur community, but hearing her say that I can also make a difference was validating. I’ve mentored and reached back every chance I’ve had, so my purpose and impact are still there even though my title is rented. Great episode!

[@denisedavis6181]

This is one of the BEST interviews that EYL has done. Definitely in the top 5 for me. She is amazing and very relatable. This video is a MUST see for all HBCU students. Thasunda breaks down her message in a way that makes you check evaluate your own situation and take action. The fact that she addressed so many relevant topics in this interview is impressive. Impactful! Powerful! Thank you!

[@olgaramirez2822]

Completely agree!

[@austinjarrettltd.4321]

Whoa 😳 this by far was one of the most impactful & inspiring interviews I’ve seen in quite some time. The way she spoke passionately about her parents/ancestors Otis & Rosemary Brown was just different. I will listen to this interview again, take notes and share with my daughters. My daughters will definitely have her included on their Women Making History portfolio 💼 Shoutout to EYL for ALWAYS taking everything to another level. ✅ #KeepBuilding

[@b.reedcoaching]

[@melanamims2622]

1st integration generation, damn I never thought of that. I remember being chosen for Inroads and being so intimidated, I dropped out. Those were some talented kids and it took me years to believe I deserved to be in that room. This was such a great talk.

[@02nupe]

Salute to this sister of #DeltaSigmaTheta and #HBCU Morehouse for hosting. Once again Quality content brought to us by the brothers of Earn your Leisure. #Save #Invest #GenerationalWealth

[@haitio5365]

Eyl is definitely is the catalyst for young black wealth everywhere not just America. Teach, motivate create. Protect these guys man fr .Great interview great questions. This is exciting🫡

[@silverback.society]

It’s so frustrating when people say they can’t afford to contribute to their 401k.

[@olgaramirez2822]

This video should have many more views! This woman shared foundational financial information while being inspirational and relatable. Thank you to the EYL team for highlighting more women. We asked and you guys have been delivering- to the highest level! Thank you! This is impact! 👏🏽

[@lowegoddess3062]

I overshared this video I hope one person out there take this information and run with it

[@harrismanagementinc133]

Thasunda code switching skills are superb !

[@iTuber012]

Honestly I don't care about that. Just speak how you speak and give me the facts. Switching around mid conversation is strange

[@02nupe]

@@iTuber012 its not strange, its real life. There is how it should be which is what you are speaking to vs how it REALLY is in real life. I care about it, cause its real.

[@elizabethbennett4377]

This lady just told you all exactly what needs to be done. Her advice her is a reflection of my success in the corporate world. Hopefully you wont skip over it.

Thank you for having such an inspiring and powerful guest! 🙏🏽👊🏾💙

[@stacksondeck515]

I’m sending this to everyone I know !!!!

[@queenvictory6916]

Had I seen women like her when i was growing up, I would’ve been further in my life. I knew I needed help but didn’t know how to go about it. I sometimes have that challenge now.

[@marcedwards2464]

The queen 👑

[@tilmongaddyjr]

The answer to her question on why the company didnt talk to her dad about retirement is they are not obligated to morally. But if its a company that cares about you, they will make it mandatory or harp on you about make sure you are able to save for retirement

[@JSGroupofCompanies]

Nice interview college mate. Odessa

[@user-st1ci8vh4e]

Awaking woman! It’s it a shame that in our Black community we will know Sexxy Red and never have heard of Thasunda Duckett.

[@RespectfullyC.]

Thank you for making it OKAY to be a Corporate Bae! Ever since 2020 hit everyone has been in the entrepreneur mindset which is Amazing! But the downfall of corporate talk has been a huge downer! So thank you so much for that insight! 😊

[@chandiggy]

Like her, her vision, and her message, but most importantly she does not speak through her nose and articulates well. BRAVA sister.

[@misunderstoodkj]

[@tam6011]

And that’s okay that path that was chosen for her. We got celebrate the wins and not try to shame someone for what they see as their win.

[@Anisha..Alayna]

[@GM4ThePeople]

"Thasunda Brown Duckett" is an anagram for "Unbutton Dad's Thwacker". o/

[@slowsteadytez290]

What is 1st generation immigration 🤔 or is she said she is ADOS or a immigrant ?

[@melanamims2622]

1st generation integration. She/we part of the first generation to not have to deal with segregation. I never thought of that until today.
