“In three generations, we went from impoverished cotton-pickers to comfortably middle-class — this is the only country in the world that allows this path to exist.”
On this week’s episode of Doc & The Block, the doc is flying solo in his conversation with guest P. Rae Easley — Project 21 Ambassador, financial professional, and one of the most compelling voices at the intersection of policy, media, and community leadership.
P. Rae’s resume reads like three careers in one — seven years as a FINRA-registered Investment Advisor at Merrill Lynch, a founding teacher at Africa’s first American-accredited bilingual Islamic school in Senegal, and three years hosting Black Excellence Hour on Chicago’s WVON, where she turned the program into the station’s top-performing show.
She started volunteering in Congressman Danny K. Davis’s office at 12 years old and logged over 500 community service hours before she ever walked across a graduation stage — touching everything from federal housing policy to Chicago’s Westside NAACP.
A Hampton University finance grad with a Master’s in Education from UIC, P. Rae brings rare credibility to the conversations that matter most — and she’s been publicly recognized by the President of the United States as someone “wise beyond her years.”
You’ll hear why.
Listen to the episode above.
