In this episode of Weird Finance, Paco talks to author and Director of Impact at Candide Group, Jasmine Rashid. Jasmine discussed her role in assessing social impact investments, the importance of cross-class, cross-racial, and cross-cultural collaborations to effect change, and her new book, The Financial Activist Playbook. Jasmine offers personal advice on managing work-life balance, including the significance of rest and self-care practices. She emphasizes the need to address and shift power dynamics within the fields of impact investing and philanthropy, advocating for a partnership-based approach to build an inclusive economy.
Jasmine Rashid (@jazz_ny | LInkedIn) is a New York-raised, Oakland-based, Zillenial who believes deeply in people power.
As a financial activist, writer, and impact investing professional, she successfully supported the #FamiliesBelongTogether coalition in shifting billions of dollars in big bank financing away from the migrant detention and private prison industry. In her role as Director of Impact for Candide Group, she helps investors flow their money to predominately women & BIPOC-led social justice-focused companies, funds, and vital organizations building the next economy. She is also a proud Congressman John Lewis fellow, Just Economy Institute alum, Trauma of Money Method certified practitioner and girl in her late 20s just trying her best to navigate contradictions under Late Capitalism (and help build something better).
Her book — The Financial Activist Playbook — offers 8 accessible strategies for everyday people to reclaim wealth and collective well-being.
The theme music was written and performed by Andrew Parker, Jenna Parker, and Paco de Leon.
