Wealth in the Black Community

from Now We Know · host Donna Polk and Jonathan Stokes

This episode, sparked from watching Self Made on Netflix, a docuseries about Madam CJ Walker, named the first black millionaire, has left Donna & Jonathan with more side-eyes about history than we normally have. What does it really mean to be self made? How did Madame CJ walker become dubbed the first self made black millionaire when others came before her? How do we obtain that level of wealth for our own and future generations? Were we given the correct tools or were they purposefully kept from us?
