As we close out Black History Month, we wanted to shine a spotlight on one sector of the population we’re truly in awe of: Black female business owners. Although Black women make up less than 10% of the U.S. population, they’ve emerged as the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the country. 

Today we’re joined by Tiffany Dufu, president of the Tory Burch Foundation and author of Drop the Ball, to discuss what’s fueling the rise of Black women-owned businesses, the biggest hurdles they face, and how we can all use our purchasing power to support them.

Bonds: They’re often known as the “boring” part of a portfolio, but they serve a critical purpose in helping investors manage risk and generate steady returns. And we have questions: With interest rates rising and the economy in flux, is now a good time to invest in bonds? How do inflation and the Federal Reserve’s decisions impact bond yields? And should you buy individual bonds or stick to bond funds?

In this episode, we’re joined by Eric Jacobson, Director of Manager Research at Morningstar, to break down everything you need to know about bonds in 2025. We’re going back to basics — and by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how bonds should fit into your financial plan.
