Hey Friends! Welcome to another episode of Sabine's Common Sense, and remember if you don't have any, feel free to use mine!

I always have soo much fun shooting these episodes. From the dope guests I get to interview to the amazing stories I get to share with you guys, and I hope you guys are just as inspired and excited to tune in every week!

Now we know New York is notorious for it's tall buildings, among other things, and that so many legends have broken barriers and created their legacies here, but have you heard about the black dream team of developers, architects, and builders that put in a request for a proposal to build a NYC skyscraper?! If approved, they'll be the FIRST group of African American developers to actually build a NYC skyscraper AND they plan to employ over 30K African Americans to work with them. You love to see it!!

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with Nikki Merkerson! A friend and client of mine, Nikki is changing the real estate game and building her legacy WITH her children. Her experience in community development and in real estate provided her with the means to purchase her first home at just 29 years old, helped her to recognize her passion for educating the community on financial literacy and real estate, and was the stepping stone to both of her businesses, PairGap and Urban Leisure! Shortly after joining match.com, PairGap was born when she realized that just how match.com is able to match those looking for love, there should a program able to match those looking to co-own real estate.

It's funny how as parents we talk about our children being part of our legacy, but don't always consider how they help us to build that legacy. Considering selling her home because she felt overwhelmed, her son convinced her that there were too many opportunities to pass up and after many brainstorming sessions, she decided not to sell their home and they were able to create Urban Leisure, a coliving housing company for young like-minded individuals!
