It was October 19, 1987, also known as Black Monday, and a young Jane Sasseen sat with horror watching what little finances she had disappear before her eyes, resulting in her reacting with a move that can only be described as pure panic selling. What else is a kid to do? She hasn’t yet learned that the markets that go down, also go back up. This hard-earned lesson sent Sasseen into a career of award-winning finance journalism, as she focused on turning her mistakes into a masterclass on investing with resilience.
Now, as the founding executive director of the McGraw Center for Business Journalism at CUNY, and co-chair of NewFest, New York’s leading LGBTQ+ film and media festival, Sasseen focuses on finances education, reporting, and representation to help the LGBTQ+ community navigate the complexities of the market and build their own personal wealth. Her story is one-part finance wisdom, one-part celebration of diversity, and all-around insightful.
Living Not So Fabulously dives into real money stories with activists, allies, artists, tech-gurus, and trailblazers in the LGBTQ+ community to give you tangible takeaways to tackle your wallet woes.
