You showed up. You delivered. You trained the people who got promoted over you. And they handed you a 2.5% raise. Dr. Renee and Stoy Hall are done letting that slide. This episode is a blueprint for getting what you’ve already earned.

This is part of the NoBS Wealth Black History Month Series. The wage gap is real. The data is real. 84 cents on the dollar for Black workers is not a talking point, it is a documented pattern that has been widening for decades. We are putting the data in the show notes so you can read it for yourself.

Dr. Renee breaks down the exact framework she uses with clients: Value, Visibility, and Leverage. She walks through the three biggest negotiation mistakes people make, the one mindset shift that flips your whole approach, and the real reason staying quiet is costing you more than you know.
