The Black Tax: Sip & Share's Own Words (Week 9 of 90-Day Black Tax Series) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On June 27, about twenty of us sat in a room in Alpharetta and asked each other one question all evening: are you lost in translation? Simone had run the event in her head a dozen times, the panel questions, the timing, the logistics. What she hadn't planned for was how the room would answer back. On the panel, Dalkeith Thomas talked about something a lot of the room recognized, walking into the U.S. school system with no map for it. Not the curriculum. The culture underneath it. The different a
The Black Tax: When It's Not Obligation, It's Manipulation. (Week 8 of 90-Day Black Tax Series) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a difference between giving and being drained, and for a long time Simone could not tell you where one ended and the other began. In week eight of the Black Tax series, she draws the line. She opens with the image she's returned to throughout this series, two cups, one pouring into the other, running dry if nothing ever pours back. In collectivist cultures that's supposed to be the whole point, everyone gives and everyone's cup gets refilled somewhere down the line. It works, until it d
The Black Tax: The Four Converstations (Week 7 of 90-Day Black Tax Series) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You have the number now. In week seven, Simone moves from the math to the words, the actual language for the conversations that come up again and again once someone starts trying to live differently with what they've learned. Simone is direct about the gap between knowing and doing: having the number does not automatically give you the sentences, and she's held a real number in her own head while still saying yes to something it couldn't afford, simply because she didn't have language ready that
From Toronto to South Texas — Building a Firm for the People Bigger Firms Skip with Jason DeSouza, Esq. (Ep. 233) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jason DeSouza, Esq. is the founder and lead trial attorney of D'Souza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas — an intentionally lean, thirty-person practice focused on oilfield, trucking, and serious-injury cases in the smaller South Texas communities that bigger firms often overlook. Born and raised in Toronto to Indian immigrant parents, Jason moved to the U.S. for law school, met his wife (and now firm CFO) on the third day of orientation, and built a career and a citizenship that were never gu
The Black Tax: The Real Number (Week 6 of the 90-Day Black Tax Series, Ep. 232) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week's question was whether anything was flowing back into your cup. This week, Simone gets specific about the number underneath that question, the one most of us have never actually written down in full. Simone draws a clear line between a starting number and a real one. The Black Tax Boundary Kit gave listeners a rough sense of what leaves and what stays, real and enough to begin with, but a real number means writing down everything that comes in, not the version said out loud at gatherin
