In this episode, we had such a good conversation with Leo Aquino. They are a poet, screenwriter, and award-winning journalist covering anti-capitalist personal finance. They have interviewed nearly 100 Americans from diverse economic backgrounds to learn how policies like student loan forgiveness, access to abortion, and anti-trans legislation affect their everyday lives and finances. Leo also writes queer and trans romcoms.

We cover…

  • How our health is our wealth, even though capitalism tries to brainwash us to not take care of our bodies 
  • The power of doing nothing, especially when we have been working hard for years
  • Leo’s journey as a trans journalist of color and their money story 
  • How student debt is racist and classist because it impacts Black, Indigenous, people of color and first-gen/low-income students the most
  • And so much more!
