Guest: Dr. Rachel Laryea | From Yale to JP Morgan | Author of Black Capitalists

📍 Is capitalism broken—or was it always built this way?
📍 If DEI is dead, what comes next?
📍 Can you benefit from a system that was never built for you?

In this urgent and unfiltered episode of Ten Year’d, Michael Lutterodt-Quarcoo sits down with Dr. Rachel Laryea—scholar, entrepreneur, and survivor of the American Dream—to pull back the curtain on a system we’re all entangled in: capitalism.

From growing up in poverty to walking the halls of JP Morgan and earning two PhDs from Yale, Rachel doesn’t just study Black wealth—she lives the contradictions. Together, they ask:

• What does it really mean to build power in a system that thrives on exploitation?
• How do we reclaim agency when we’re taught that voting only happens at the ballot box?
• And what would it look like if our economy truly valued Black and Brown lives?

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a call to reimagine capitalism—not just for inclusion, but for liberation. Are you bold enough to take on the quest?
