Healing Financial Trauma: Empowering Undervalued Communities | Tiffani Sharp | TEDxFolsom

NOTE FROM TED: Epigenetic inheritance of financial trauma currently lacks scientific support and warrants further investigation. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
