About this listen

In this episode, we explore the deep impact Black culture has had on America’s economic rise—from the exploitation of enslaved labor to the global influence of Black creativity in music, fashion, sports, and business. We break down how Black innovation and resilience fueled entire industries, even while being systemically excluded from wealth-building opportunities. You'll hear about the roots of cultural influence, the cost of appropriation, and how Black communities continue to shape the economy today. This is a look at American prosperity through a lens that’s often overlooked—but essential to understanding the full picture
