The Myth of Black Capitalism Vs. Its Reality

Rachel Laryea
Join Dr. Rachel Laryea as she talks with us about her book, Black Capitalists. Dr. Rachel is a thought leader who specializes in race and money, ethical entrepreneurship, and social good. After cutting her teeth on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs, she went on to receive her dual Ph.D. in African American Studies and Sociocultural Anthropology at Yale University. Her ethnographic research aims to understand nuanced forms of Black participation in capitalist economies. This talk aims to unpack both the problematics and potential of the broken economic system we did not choose to inherit, but are responsible for changing.
