On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show — powered by CJ Moneyway Entertainment and Bleav Network — CJ sits down with Dr. Rachel Laryea, a powerhouse at the intersection of finance, culture, and social impact. She’s a Yale-trained double-PhD, former Goldman Sachs analyst, current JPMorgan researcher, and the founder of Kelewele, a cultural lifestyle brand that honors West African heritage and values.

In this thought-provoking conversation, we dive into: Why reimagining capitalism matters in 2026 and beyond The tension between thriving in systems vs. transforming them Lessons from Wall Street and anthropology for entrepreneurs of color How to build wealth while staying rooted in cultural values What it means to reshape ownership for the next generation This is more than a conversation — it’s a framework for how to align legacy, leadership, and liberation.
