It is good. I like doing the songs with my siblings. It’s really fun. And it helps you learn while you’re having fun.
When did your dad start getting you all to start rapping about financial literacy?
Ever since he started the TV app. He wanted to have another way for kids to learn about finance. So he started the album, Syllabus, and we were in the background. My siblings and I were in the background while he was speaking.
