Believe in You Money with Jessica Norwood, Nikishka Iyengar, & Andrew X (Part 2)

  • Summary

  • This final episode on Season 2 of the Road to Repair picks up where the previous episode left off by summarizing the discussion around Jessica's upcoming book called "Believe-in-You Money: What Would It Look Like If the Economy Loved Black People?" which focuses on the racial wealth divide, systemic racism in finance, the concept of an economy that loves black people and how it benefits everyone. Jessica then turns the focus back to her cohosts Nikishka and Andrew to share their personal stories about receiving and giving "Believe In You Money" and the impact it had on them and the stories and emotions come pouring forth. Finally, this episode closes out with a classic Black folk song that's guided many seekers in their quest for liberation and repair. Highlights: • Andrew gets choked up recalling an instance where he received "Believe In You Money" from a friend during challenging times and how it made a profound difference in his life. In giving "Believe In You Money" he discusses his participation in an innovative fund that invested in women and people of color-owned enterprises alongside his personal "Believe In You Money" investments. • Nikishka discusses her work at The Guild, an organization focused on community-owned models of land, housing, and real estate. She relates a traumatic experience with a CDFI and shares how working with the Kataly Foundation – which provides integrated capital, including grants and loans, to support projects like theirs – has allowed them to reject harmful practices enforced by other financial institutions and she shares the transformative impact it has had on their organization and team. • An interesting nuance comes up around the pressure and expectations that come with receiving this type of funding and the challenge of receiving love after navigating a loveless space but all express gratitude for the opportunity and repair that it provides. • The cohosts celebrate the completion of this 2nd season of the Road to Repair and invite you to stay tuned for Season 3!
