86. Discovering Your Inner Investor with Tiana Tukes

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Jennifer talks to Tiana Tukes, the co-founder and co-CEO of the groundbreaking non-profit organization, LGBT+VC. Tiana shares her journey and offers profound insights into the transformative power of venture capital. They talk about confronting the often-unspoken topics of privilege, politics, and identity in the realm of finance, as well as the significance of community and collective power. They explore ways to give back, not just financially but through our time, skills, and relationships by viewing ourselves as investors in all aspects of our lives while embracing the notion that we are also artists shaping the world around us. They unpack the idea that money is a tool that can be harnessed for positive change and it can empower us to take control of our destinies. They also speak about the intersection of art, money, and community, and how, together, can create a more equitable, economic, and prosperous world for all.
