Back to EpisodesCan We Reimagine Capitalism? Dr. Rachel Laryea on Wealth, Culture & Liberation”
Description
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. She’s also the author of the forthcoming book Black Capitalists: A Blueprint for What Is Possible, where she challenges outdated economic narratives and invites a new model of intergenerational wealth for Black communities.
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
