    Thank you for listening
    Aug 30 2022
    When the Diversifying team set out to create this show, our mission was to create a safe space where personal finance could be discussed from the lens of those who are usually ignored: women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and lower-income individuals. Hearing from all of you through the voicemails, reviews, and messages on social media has confirmed that we’ve achieved that mission and that this type of show is very much needed in the finance space. Thank you for tuning in and listening every week. We couldn’t have made this show without you.

  • When the Price of Childcare is Just Too High

    When the Price of Childcare is Just Too High
    Aug 29 2022
    In most places in the US, sending a kid to daycare costs about the same as sending a kid to state college. Have more than one kid, and it’s easy for a daycare bill to be bigger than your paycheck – which leaves some women wondering if it would be better to drop out of the workforce entirely. Bloomberg Businessweek writer Claire Suddath joins Delyanne Barros for a conversation about the toll high childcare prices take on women’s careers and financial lives, and the broken childcare system in America underlying it all.
