In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Rebecca Walker. Rebecca has contributed to the global conversation about race, gender, power, and the evolution of the human family for three decades. In her most recent book, Women Talk Money, Rebecca created a collection of 29 essays by different female writers who explore the profound impact of money on women’s lives. The collection includes previously unpublished essays by trailblazing writers, activists, and models, such as Alice Walker, Tressie McMillan Cottom, Rachel Cargle, Tracy McMillan and more. Rebecca is the author of several bestselling books; a speaker who has appeared at over four hundred universities, literary conferences, and corporate campuses; and a DEI consultant for several Fortune 500 companies. She is the co-founder of the Third Wave Fund, an organization that gives grants to women and transgender youth working for social justice.

WOMEN TALK MONEY : Breaking the Taboo is a searing anthology of essays exploring the profound impact of money on women’s lives, edited by prominent feminist and writer Rebecca Walker (Simon & Schuster). This collection lifts the veil on how women talk about money and unflinchingly recounts the power of money to impact health, define relationships, and shape female identity. These deeply resonant essays are full of courage and vulnerability as these writers explore the far reaches of the shame, humiliation, anxiety—or sometimes joy or relief—that can surround the taboo topic of money.

We're in luck today! We are joined not only by one powerhouse woman but two, Lily Diamond and Rebecca Walker. These two women joined forces to co-author a book called "What's Your Story? A Journey for Everyday Evolution." First, we will be speaking with Rebecca, she is an American writer, feminist, activist, and you likely know her as the daughter of Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple." Rebecca made it her mission to revitalize feminist movements to ensure the fight for women's rights were heard, she knew when she or other people were not being treated correctly. Lily Diamond is our second speaker today. She is a writer, photographer, and advocate for harnessing the power of digital media. Lily is all about democratizing wellness and empowering women through storytelling. Lily began questioning the ideologies and beliefs she grew up with and starting changing those perceptions as she got older. Rebecca and Lily have paired together, creating this awe-inspiring book, with the call to challenge the status quo, to think about the way in which we view race & gender, and to think about the way in which we navigate our journeys through the world and offer hindsight regarding who we are as humans.

[53:02] After finishing the book, what was the biggest lesson they've learned through that process? KEY TAKEAWAYS: Rebecca always felt from a young age that she knew when she or other people were not being treated correctly. She would take on the role of becoming an advocate for herself and others. Rebecca made it her mission to revitalize feminist movements to ensure the fight for women's rights were heard. Lily began questioning the ideologies and beliefs she grew up with and starting changing those perceptions as she got older. The relationship between Rebecca and Lily has evolved into a powerful friendship and comradeship, from being open and honest with each other to authentically supporting one another. QUOTES: "Our relationship has evolved into one of powerful friendship and comradeship." - Rebecca Walker on her friendship with Lily "From a very young age, I felt the need to either speak about those things to other people and try to be an advocate of some kind, on their behalf, or to just note in myself that what was happening to me was not okay." - Rebecca Walker "When I started to listen to my peers talk about their experiences of feminism, it always came that they felt there was a kind of rigidity and a kind of totalizing ideology that made them very uncomfortable and that was an awakening." - Rebecca Walker "I think many of us have this desire to be accepted and to belong and that transforms
