Hello, everyone, and welcome back to an all new episode of the Financial Confessions. It's me, your host, Chelsea Fagan, founder and CEO of the financial diet. And I'm just a woman who loves to talk about money, as you guys know. And you must excuse my stuffed up voice. I'm coming off a cold. I'm very much on the out, on the exit side of it. I'm no no longer contagious. I just like it's going to be a while until everything is back to normal. So you're just going to have to deal with this voice today. However, in exchange for having to listen to my very Chuckie Finster energy, uh, you are getting a second week in a row of some of my all time favorite YouTube creators, the people who, as I mentioned on

0:38.6

Mooncats' last video, are just the kind of creators where when they drop a video, you're like,

0:43.4

you get at that fork and knife, you tuck the little napkin bib and you're like, we are eating

0:47.6

today. My guest today is actually also someone that we have had the pleasure of working with

0:52.7

before at TFD. And you guys, if you are true historians of the channel, have already seen on our channel in the form of her writing. As some of you may remember, we had a takeover by former YouTuber, creator, writer, author, Lindsay Ellis, a four week series all about the representation of money and pop culture. It's one of my all-time favorite things that we've done on the channel.

1:11.6

I think each episode is just so good, so striking.

1:15.7

And actually one of her primary writers on that series

1:18.1

was my guest today, who now has her own channel,

1:21.1

which is just about to hit 200,000.

1:23.4

We're getting there.

1:24.1

But before we dive into the conversation about her videos, her writing, her views on pop culture

1:45.8

and money and more, let me just introduce my guest, Princess Weeks. Thank you so much for having me. I finally am on the screen of the financial document. It's so exciting to have you. You've really been someone who's been sort of in our ether for a very long time. And I did tee it up a little bit, but could

2:01.3

you tell our audience for those who may not be familiar with your work, kind of what you do and

2:05.6

what your work focuses on? So I primarily now focus on dealing with pop culture analysis at the

2:11.9

intersection of race, sexuality, gender, all the fun light stuff, and really just trying to sort of bring my own

2:21.4

literary theory background and analysis to those works, whether it be like one of my more recent

2:27.1

ones was, why are there so many Confederate vampires?

2:29.3

I know.
