Black History Is More Than a Month — It’s a Legacy
|
Black history isn't just something we look back on; it's something we live, build, and pass forward every day. It's not just Black history, it's American history. This week, I wanted to highlight three pieces that reflect different sides of our story: our history, our money, and our culture. First, we dig into little-known Black history facts that don't always make it into textbooks. These are the stories that remind us how deep our roots really go and how much has been intentionally left out of the narrative. Next, we shine a light on Black personal finance bloggers who are changing the conversation around money, wealth, and ownership in our community. Representation matters, especially when it comes to learning how to build and protect what we earn. Finally, we celebrate culture and tradition with a look at Black Greek picnics, spaces where history, fellowship, and legacy come together generation after generation. These gatherings are about more than food and fun; they're about connection and pride. If you have a few minutes, please explore all three. Each one reflects a different chapter of our shared story, and together, they paint a fuller picture of who we are. Read them here: • Little-Known Black History Facts • Black Personal Finance Bloggers You Should Know • The Culture and Legacy of Black Greek Picnics Black history didn't start in a book, and it doesn't end with a headline. It lives in our stories, our hustle, and our traditions. — Jason My Money Chronicles Freebies & Deals Here are some of my favorite freebies and deals.

The monthly hustle is my newsletter, where I share updates from the previous month. If you noticed, I missed February. February 2026 was one of the most annoying months ever. Our apartment flooded, and we were displaced for two weeks. That would be tough for anyone, but adding an 8-month-old to the equation made it even more difficult. Thank God that we had renters' insurance. After a week of cleaning and reorganizing, we are pretty much back to normal. I don't typically share a lot of...
