This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome home, fam.

Today's episode is a rerun of a mini pod that where me and Andrew recorded, I think this was back in September, about black family loans, y'all, especially around the holidays.

You know how it is when your family hits you up and say, well, your nephew needs or your needs needs or you know, big mama needs.

So we hope this episode helps you navigate some of those family conversations you might be having.

NativeLand Pod is a production of IHeart Radio and partnership with Reason Choice Media.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

Welcome home, y'all.

prom and he got money for his tugs and Renee want to go to the dance and she needs money

for her dress and all those things.

We certainly have been through that collectively.

So Andrew, what made you want to talk about this?

No, I, you know, I came across this clip and I thought it was like quite something to hear a very, very, very, very rich woman share this problem that a lot of us common folks also encounter.

And I just, I just wanted to see if our audience might relate similarly to how this particular person deals with lonely money to family members.

Check it out.

Because not everybody knows her.

That's my only.

This,

the voice that you're going to hear if you're on the listening side is Melanie Hobson, who... Melody Hopson. Melody, I'm sorry, I say Melanie. You can have a dean in your name all day if you were Melody. And I'm going to say Melanie. A lot of people do that. But she's... I don't know. We know her, but a lot of people, like, may not actually know her.
