Financially CLEAN and Good Shepherd Services Announce Partnership for 2021-2022 School Year
In its inaugural award season, Black Podcasting Awards recognized Two Black Guy With Good Credit podcast with nominations in two categories.
Following the Financially CLEAN Small Business Incubator last fall, Ephrem Kitoyi was one of our attendees who was able to bring his idea to fruition. A few weeks ago, we caught up with him to hear his story and the progress he has made thus far.
Alumnus Shaun Lynda, co-host of the Two Black Guys with Good Credit podcast, returned to Ottawa University campus with Financially CLEAN program director Dionne Nicholls to make three short “Money 101” videos for new grads.
It's been a exciting week for podcast, TWO BLACK GUYS WITH GOOD CREDIT, topping the charts again for Black History Month. The personal finance podcast is featured as one of the most important Business/Start-Ups podcasts on iTunes.
In 2016, born out of his charitable organization, Financially CLEAN, host Shaun Lynda, had an idea to create a podcast to extend his message of financial literacy beyond classroom.
TWO BLACK GUYS WITH GOOD CREDIT is a show about two guys from Canada living in the US for over 20 years (Arlington Forbes in Los Angeles and Shaun Lynda in Brooklyn). Both are business owners with successful track records and, of course, good credit! Each week they will bring you their ‘straight talk’ and at times humorous perspective on making, managing, and protecting your money.
While Shaun and Arlington go back and forth, co-host, Dionne Nicholls, keeps everyone on point as the Lady with the Facts.
Dionne brings the numerical and historical perspective to the topics at hand. Whether it be about the history of bitcoin or how credit card reward points date back to the 19th century, Dionne, a former fashion executive turned social entrepreneur makes sure that we know our past so we can properly contextualize our present.
“We take the guesswork out of finance to bring you a real perspective that is useful in our everyday. Each week we demystify the world of finance with our ‘straight-talk’, and often humorous perspective.....Two Black Guys with Good Credit puts the cool in financial literacy”

Assemblyman Walter Mosley hosted over 1000 teens at his 5th Annual Career Fair at the Shirley A. Chisolm State Office Building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn on Friday. That’s a lot of downloads!!! We officially launched The College Financial Playbook, a Free E-book there, which was beyond awesome.
YES!
They are Living Financially CLEAN and have the arm bands to prove it!
Every child that downloaded our free e-book on Friday received a Financially CLEAN arm band to remind them to pay their bills on time.
Assemblyman Walter Mosley took the time to visit with us and see how the magic happens and how we are trying to share financial literacy one e-book and child at a time. And we had to take one State Office Selfie!!
