Forbes: Maternal Health

Inside Katherine Gold’s Mission To Improve Maternal Health Through Business Leadership

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

It is important to acknowledge that resources for maternal health are shrinking. 41% of US births are covered by Medicaid and that number rises to 47% in rural communities. With the recent budget bill, the anticipated cuts to Medicaid will result in more hospital closures and even less health access for low-income and rural moms. The maternal healthcare deserts in this country will increase. Now more than ever, we need to use our resources to find solutions and provide every mother and baby with the support they deserve.

GoldBug can’t do it alone. But we are committed to working with others to ensure that every mom has the resources they need to have a healthy baby.

Forbes: The Domino Effect

The Domino Effect of Gutting Education on Economic Mobility

The latest Forbes contribution by our CEO, Aisha Nyandoro, is out today!

YOU CAN READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

“Education is the cornerstone for better health outcomes

and lifetime economic security.

As AI advances, unequal access to quality education

risks widening disparities further.”

“The foundation of a healthy democracy and economy is built on accessible, high-quality public education, and destabilizing this core institution brings cascading impacts across all facets of American life. Without federal oversight from the Department of Education, essential programs would fragment or vanish altogether.”

How Empathy and Innovation Can Close the Retirement Gap, Breaking Barriers to Retirement Security for Every American

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

When it comes to building wealth and security in America, too many families — especially those living paycheck to paycheck — are left out of the conversation. For low-income households, retirement planning often feels like a distant luxury, and the pathways to financial empowerment can seem inaccessible. In this candid Forbes Q&A, I speak to Thasunda Brown Duckett, President and CEO of TIAA and one of just two Black women to helm a Fortune 500 company currently, to discuss the systemic barriers that keep millions from building a secure future and to share actionable strategies for closing the retirement gap. Our conversation offers insights and practical advice for individuals, organizations, and policymakers committed to making retirement security a reality for all Americans.

Forbes: The Big Beautiful Bill

And The High Cost Of Short-Sighted Fiscal Policy

Aisha’s latest contribution to Forbes is out. You can read the full article here.

“In the end, the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a misnomer. Its legacy is instead set to be the creation of a larger deficit, greater inequality, and higher long-term costs for American society. If the goal is a more efficient and effective government, the real path forward lies in preserving—and strengthening—investments in health, nutrition, and opportunities for all Americans, not just the fortunate few.”

Forbes: Work Requirements

Our CEO, Aisha Nyandoro, published a new piece in Forbes regarding the Medicaid Work Requirements & how they will hamper economic growth.

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

“As we consider changes to our nation’s safety net, let’s ground our decisions in evidence and shared economic interests. Work requirements for Medicaid may sound appealing, but the data show they are a costly mistake—one our economy cannot afford.”
