Time: 7 PM ⏳
Location: Mother Tongue, Oakland 🍻
Lecture: “Bag Secured? The Economics Behind the Hustle” 💰
Speaker: Herman Singh, Professor (CSU Long Beach) & Economist 🧠
“Making money moves.” “Building generational wealth.” "Side hustles, and passive income streams".
But… is the bag actually secured?
Join economist, Professor Singh, for a data-driven (and slightly ruthless) breakdown of hustle culture, inflation, investing trends, gig work, and the real math behind “getting ahead.”
Is grinding the path to wealth or are structural forces doing more than we admit? Is “soft life” financially feasible? When prices rise faster than paychecks, economic sustainability might need to be explained by an expert.
