Sikasem Podcast
by Stephanie Sika
Sikavi is a Ghanaian-American first-generation college student exploring and discussing all things that inspire us to make "money moves," aka "sikasem." Wellness, healing, learning, exploring, meditation, understanding our institutionalized systems, and ancestral connection are key elements guiding people of color towards better understanding ourselves, allowing us to make room for money moves in our lives. It's a lifestyle I want to explore and understand with you, my dedicated money-getters who know sikasem encompasses more than just money instead, success and self-determination.
