Manage episode 288287208 series 2862816
Phoenix Jackson is an award-winning social entrepreneur, communications strategist, tech investor, author, and speaker. Phoenix is the Founder of Phoenix Affect, a 16-year-old global public relations and marketing firm. She has worked with many small business owners, non-profits, professional athletes, entertainers, authors, speakers, politicians, and more helping them to manifest their desired outcomes within business. Her tagline is: Influence Something!
Phoenix is also the Partner and Chief Communications Officer of two financial tech firms that are changing the landscape of homeownership and credit worthiness for the American people. Rental Kharma and Achroma were created to level the playing field in bridging the wealth gap in America. RK reports your rental history on your credit report and Achroma is the first-ever anti-discrimination online mortgage marketplace, blind lending, circumventing all algorithms and systems that cause discrimination in the home buying process.
Our conversation goes beyond her corporate engagements. During the pandemic, Phoenix and her family experienced a devastating loss, her seven-month (in utero) son died. We discuss racial bias in the medical field and explore the potential for meaningful change.
