For people living in poverty, a guaranteed income can mean finally having the space to dream of a comfortable life. Sharing the stories of single moms who participated in a first-of-its-kind program that offered them $1,000 per month with no strings attached, poverty disrupter Aisha Nyandoro calls for us to redefine what it means to be wealthy - putting aside lavish vacations and fancy cars in favor of paid bills and a well-fed family - and to listen when people tell us what they need most.

*Be the person who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose understanding. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the person who hurt you. Vow to be better than what broke you-to heal instead of becoming bitter so you can act from your heart, not your pain.*

Pakistan People's Party was voted into office, my father had started his modernization programs, redistributing the land held for generations by the feudal few among the many poor, educating the millions held down by ignorance, nationalizing the country's major industries, guaranteeing minimum wages and job security, and forbidding discrimination against women and minorities. - Benazir Bhutto 🇵🇰

@boulderbite 7 месяцев назад

No, no, no... being uncomfortable and striving for a better life is better. Biologically and neurologically. Having a guarantied income is the gateway to permanent poverty and lack of personal gratification in personal success. This is literally THE SCIENCE on the matter. Of course we have this speech with a black person... and money. My tribe has guaranteed funding from the US... yet the second anyone gets extra money or wants more stability, THEY FLEE the reservation. Wealth is fleeting. It is only maintained by constant determination to self betterment. We know th is as most familial wealth evaporates after 3 generations. I know this too, as my family actually had wealth in the form of trade and actual gold in reserves, but it is all gone and my family is working upwards from lower middle class or upper poverty. Equity is a curse, equity is a reason to be lazy.

@HikaruYamamoto 7 месяцев назад

Most highly wealthy people gain from exploitation, not hard work.

@boulderbite 7 месяцев назад

If that were the case, then why does anyone work for anyone if it is only "exploitation" or something in a negative context. Poor business owners can be just as terrible in exploitation. It really doesn't come down to just "wealthy" people, it comes down to the nature of character and morals of people. If someone is exploiting you... LEAVE. @@HikaruYamamoto

I'm an English learner, so l couldn't understand well, because your speech is too fast for me and the words are a bit difficult to translate, despite this l could feel your sense, health and wealth are both necessary and they led each other, they look our two eyes, if we're not healthy, wealth can't make us happy, if we're poor, we may loose our health and we can't live as we dream

Real wealth means abundance in great health in our heart body mind and soul our greatest wealth , abundance in great characters to be kind loving compassionate and the material wealth not in terms of millions but in terms of having enough to make us live comfortably. And as human we can’t be alone so cultivate the wealth of true connection from our love ones our immediate families and friends and those not related to us who could truly love us unconditionally .

You can't just give people money without education. That's how you end up in the projects but somehow, you have a new IPhone, great manicure and no future. Knowing someone was paying my bills would definitely make my life better but without the financial education I have (thanks Suze :) ) imagine I would blow it on things that don't add to my "wealthy"

Black men mentioned NOWHERE IN THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION! It is amazing to me how when it comes to discussions of wealth/poverty for African Americans black men are left out. This is an old game... until Black women realize that the best vehicle for wealth is via a family where the legacy can be passed down African Americans are doomed to being a permanent underclass.

@scatton61 7 месяцев назад

So what if the room was nondescript. Your name is hard to pronounce. Perhaps you should have been a little bit more understanding when somebody comes across a name they're unfamiliar with how to pronounce. So he used some financial jargon that you Didn't understand And couldn't be bothered to research before you came to the meeting. Many people of many colours and backgrounds suffer from poverty it's a shame that you choose to work mostly with black women. Sounds a bit sexist and racist to me. Surely a life free of financial worry is what everybody would wish to achieve and it's sad to hear you are only offering it to black women. If it were left up to me I'd offer the programme to all those that need it. What you could do for black women particularly those with children is to find ways in which to keep the father in the home and with two incomes they wouldn't need to be any tax funded or privately funded cash to support a short-term band aid fix to a long term much bigger problem. Still I expect you have a good salary and that's all that matters hey so that you can retire at 60
