Welcome to Money Talks

We are a father-daughter duo in Chicago, Ill.

Darnell is a career sports writer but a newbie investor who has an irrational obsession for the Minnesota Vikings. Parker is a rambunctious fifth-grader who loves reading and recycling, tigers and Magna-Tiles, the color pink and, of course, candy!

We have committed to becoming financially literate so we will make smarter choices with money and build a better future for our family. Our goal, through daily “money talks,” is to break free from destructive financial behaviors we didn’t know we carried and transition to more fruitful habits with earning and spending, saving and investing.

Join our journey as we set out for financial independence and dare to aspire to generational wealth. Our hope is that in sharing our personal story, others will feel inspired to improve their family’s financial picture as well.

Let’s connect!

We want to hear from you!

Along our journey, we hope you connect with us. We invite you to share what our stories mean to you and how your family has decided to get smarter with money.

Please don’t hesitate to comment, email us or share Money Talks with anyone you think might enjoy our content. We hope Money Talks ultimately grows into a vibrant community of like-minded families determined to change their lives forever!
