Before wealth is built, identity is formed.

Marsha Hamilton is the Principal and Director of Operations at St. Clement's Early Learning School, a boutique institution that has been shaping young minds since 1955. But her story is about far more than education.

In this episode, Marsha takes us through her journey from a quiet, curious child to the woman who bought the school. She shares what ownership actually requires, how her definition of wealth has shifted, what post-COVID is doing to children's development, and what parents need to hear right now.

This is a conversation about identity, resilience, and what it truly means to build something that outlasts you.

In this episode:

How she went from educator to school owner and what the transition demanded of herWhat wealth meant growing up versus what it means nowWhat post-COVID has done to children's emotional development and social skillsWhat parents are getting wrong and what to do insteadWhat it means to raise a truly wealthy child

Black, Beautiful and Wealthy is a podcast for Black women building with intention, ownership, and legacy at the center. New episodes every Sunday.

What if the real reason you haven’t reached your next level has nothing to do with strategy, hustle, or opportunity and everything to do with the unhealed version of yourself standing in the way?

In this Season Finale, Chantell Beete sits down with MarciGray, MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker, Clinical Director, Psychological Safety Expert, award-winning Founder of Gray Matter Health, and PhD Candidate, for one of the most powerful conversations in BBW history.

Marci opens up about her own journey through postpartum anxiety and depression, the moment she realized the system wasn’t built for Black women, and why she founded Gray Matter Health to create the safe space she once desperately needed.

In this episode:

• Why inner work must come before outer wealth, and what“doing the work” actually means

• The difference between anxiety and an anxiety disorder and the signs high-achievers miss

• Trauma: what it really is and how your system processes it

• Burnout vs. compassion fatigue, and why the distinction matters

• How to find the right therapist as a Black woman, including green flags and red flags

• Why self-sabotage is often a trauma response and how to interrupt the pattern

• Psychological safety in the workplace and what it costs Black women when it’s absent

• The connection between self-worth, boundaries, and your ability to build and hold wealth

This is not a conversation about theory. This is a roadmap.
