Last week on The Pop-Up!, Ché Davis, the Financial Literacy Chair for the NAACP State Conference covering Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, dropped some weighted words in the Black Media Matters Studio: “I’m not going to ask my oppressors for freedom.”

Ché’s message came when discussing what communities can do to break the cycle of poverty and the "poverty mindset" within marginalized communities. In a world where the system consistently fails us, it’s up to us to band together in the name of finding solutions, he explained.
