    What Do Recent College Affordability Proposals Mean for Young People?

    What Do Recent College Affordability Proposals Mean for Young People?

    Today's guest hosts are Edwith Theogene and Charlotte Hancock, Organizing Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress.

    During today's show they discuss how four different proposals have been released in the past month that aim to make college affordable and accessible and prevent students from having to choose between obtaining higher education and going into debt. These proposals represent significant progress on the issue of college affordability, and are a testament to the hard work that advocates have put into ending the student debt crisis and addressing its root causes.

    The four proposals share common elements—including federal-state partnerships and crucial investments in historically underfunded HBCUs, minority-serving institutions, and community colleges, and expanding financial aid eligibility to DREAMers. The American Families Plan proposed by the Biden-Harris administration would also make public community colleges free for students, and provide two years of subsidized tuition at HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs.

    To talk with Edwith and Charlotte more about what these proposals represent for the college affordability crisis and where we should go from here, they are joined by two expert guests.  They are Antoinette Flores, managing director for Postsecondary Education at the Center for American Progress, and Russell Boyd, national field organizer for the NAACP Youth & College division.

    HD Conversations | Does Dave Ramsey Work For Black People?

    HD Conversations | Does Dave Ramsey Work For Black People?

    Welcome back HSTLers we are here with our first episode of HD Conversations!!! In this episode, we are asking if  Dave Ramsey's methods to Financial Freedom work for black people. Morgan talks about knowing the methods work, but when we factor all other things black people face in this country are Dave's methods realistic for black people. 

    Black people who are in student loan debt and still want to create sustainable lives, who MAY not have well-paying careers even after going to college. 

    CORRECTION: 
    8:00 Dave does not necessarily say live with your parents. He has a few videos where he says to move out and to continue paying off your debt "because this will help make you a better person."

    We have linked a view videos from Dave explaining his views on living with your parents, check them out, and let's dialogue! 

    10:00 I was obviously not interpreting this correctly 

    There WILL be more on this subject soon!

    Comment below your thoughts! We love to dialogue!

    Join us on Clubhouse every Tuesday at 7PM EST for more conversations on Entrepreneurship and debt

    And always keep up with the HSTL

    Student Debt is a Civil Rights Issue

    Student Debt is a Civil Rights Issue
    Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Charlotte Hancock, Executive Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress. On today’s show, they come back to a conversation from one of their first shows after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and the resulting economic crisis took hold in the U.S. The student debt crisis has been a crisis long before the pandemic started, but it has long been clear that COVID-19 was going to make the crisis even worse for many student borrowers—especially for student borrowers of color and student borrowers working in the service industry. Since we covered the subject on our last show, the limited relief provided by the CARES Act, which included suspending loan payments and stopping collections on defaulted loans, has expired—which has left many borrowers in a very precarious position. To talk with Brent and Charlotte more about how student borrowers are being affected by the pandemic, what the government can do to provide real relief, and why student debt is a civil rights issue, they are joined by Natalia Abrams, the Executive Director at Student Debt Crisis. They’re also joined by Mike Pierce, Policy Director at the Student Borrowers Protection Center. Here are the Twitter handles for today's guests and their organizations: Natalia Abrams - @nataliaabrams, Student Debt Crisis - @DebtCrisisOrg, Mike Pierce - @millennial_debt, Student Borrower Protection Center - @theSBPC. The website for Generation Progress is www.GenProgress.org and their Twitter Handle is @GenProgress. Brent J. Cohen's Twitter handle is @BrentJCohen and Charlotte Hancock's handle is @CharlatAnne.

    COVID-19’s Impact on Student Loan Borrowers

    COVID-19’s Impact on Student Loan Borrowers
    Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Charlotte Hancock, Executive Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress. During this episode, they’re going to be examining yet another example of how COVID-19 has exacerbated an existing issue in this country—in this case, the student debt crisis. Generation Progress has been doing advocacy work in the student debt space for much of their existence, and it’s an issue that they feel very strongly about. The collective student loan debt owed by Americans today totals over 1.5 *trillion* dollars, and around one-third of people under the age of 35 currently have a student loan. The cost of attending college has risen dramatically in recent decades, but these advanced degrees are still considered a prerequisite for most middle-class jobs. That precarious situation combined with the rise of predatory, for-profit institutions that exploit students’ desire for higher education have resulted in many students battling climbing debt well into their careers. Now, with many people in this country out of work or losing income as a result of the pandemic, the student debt crisis is positioned to get much worse, especially for people already fighting against gender and racial wealth gaps. To learn more about what needs to be done now to protect and provide relief to student borrowers—particularly those most impacted by COVID-19—they’re joined by Ashley Harrington, senior policy counsel at the Center for Responsible Lending, and Cody Hounanian, program director at Student Debt Crisis. Here are the Twitter handles for today's guests and their respective organizations: Ashley Harrington - @achesquire, Center for Responsible Lending - @crlonline, Cody Hounanian - @chounanian, Student Debt Crisis - @DebtCrisisOrg The website for "Generation Progress" is www.GenProgress.org and their Twitter Handle is @GenProgress. Brent J. Cohen's Twitter handle is @BrentJCohen and Charlotte Hancock's handle is @CharlatAnne. (Image Credit: Mountain View Studio)
