What does it take to go from assistant principal to a 9-figure net worth trader? Teri Ijeoma is living proof that the biggest risk you'll ever take is the one you don't.

In this episode of the Melanin Money Show, recorded live at the New York Stock Exchange, we sit down with one of the most impactful Black women in the investing and trading space. Terry Latrice built a trading empire from scratch, helped create millionaires out of everyday people, and is now releasing her debut book — The Risk Worth Taking — to reach even more people who never thought the stock market was for them.

This is not your average trading conversation. This is a masterclass on risk, identity, wealth building, and what it really means to bet on yourself when everything is on the line.

In this episode you'll learn:

How Terri went from assistant principal to generating over a million dollars in a single trading day.

Why Black women are statistically the least likely to take financial risk — and how that fear is costing them generational wealth.

Why the strategies that build your wealth are completely different from the ones that will preserve it!

How to think about opportunity cost so that fear stops making your financial decisions for you

Why over 600,000 unemployed Black women are sitting on severance and savings that could be working for them right now!

and more!
