Poverty Mindset Disconnect
Welcome to *The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast*. I’m Lois Lane Miami, the Equalizer, here to bridge the gaps in understanding between people from different walks of life. In this episode, I explore the “Poverty Mindset Disconnect,” a topic that resonates with me personally, as I’ve experienced both poverty and relative financial stability.
Growing up in an African-American neighborhood, I faced many of the challenges associated with poverty: unreliable utilities, dependence on public assistance, and frequent moves. Despite these hardships, there were moments of joy, like when my mother managed to buy us something special, even when we had little else.
One major challenge I’ve noticed is the disconnect between those who are struggling and those offering financial advice. While financial literacy is valuable, it often doesn’t address the immediate lack of resources that makes saving or investing nearly impossible. People often assume that the poor are mismanaging their money, without understanding the reality of living with nothing to spare.
This episode challenges the idea that financial literacy alone can solve poverty. Instead, we need to think about providing people with the resources they need to improve their situations. I encourage those who want to help to dig deeper, understand the true experiences of poverty, and offer solutions that go beyond traditional advice.
My goal is to foster empathy and understanding. By sharing my experiences, I hope to help others see the world from a different perspective. Thank you for joining me. Until next time, this is Lois Lane Miami, the Equalizer, on *The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast*.

Hello,
I am Lois Lane MiamI
"The Equalizer"
I am a writer, former rap artist, and womb-man, meaning I was born with a uterus and cannot be cloned.
But you didn’t come here for me did you? You came here to find out what, if anything, I can do for you.
Therefore, I will attempt to help you navigate life and understand others through my experiences and stories.
And if you find value in anything I say, you will stay and listen. If you don’t, you wont. And I am fine with that.
