Most of us were taught to “play the game” when it comes to money; work hard, follow the rules, and financial stability will follow. But what happens when the game itself was never built for most of us to win?
Jasmine Rashid calls herself a financial activist. She’s an impact investor, writer, and advocate who believes that reclaiming power in our financial systems starts with everyday people—not policymakers or billionaires, but those of us who spend, save, and invest every day. Her new book, The Financial Activist Playbook: Eight Strategies for Everyday People to Reclaim Wealth and Collective Wellbeing, is part invitation, part instruction manual for building a fairer economy from the ground up.
In this episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel talks with Jasmine about how to put people back into the economy. Together, they explore how financial activism can help us move from scarcity to abundance, and from isolation to collective power.
