Summary

White supremacy has systematically broken the heart of Black America. Its toxic presence has, for generations, harmed our self-concept and even how we view each other. History tells another story, though. Today’s guest is going to help us get to the heart of the matter. Dr. Dianne Stewart is a  professor of religion and African American studies at Emory University.  Inspired by her research and teaching in Black love studies, much of her work examines the structural forces that, across four centuries, have made coupling and marriage difficult for Black people.

and that's by design. But we're not stuck. We have more power than you might think. And

we addressed the daily issues Black folks face financially and the actions we can take

ownership and debt management. And we're answering questions about all of this from listeners

just like you. Uping our financial literacy is how we make sure our individual financial

0:55.7

houses are in order. But let's be clear. Individual Black wealth won't save our people. It's

going to take a collective effort. So we're talking about how we can use cooperative economics

to build our own system within the larger economy. So if you're trying to get your money

Its toxic presence in Black love has, for generations, harmed our self-concept and even how

met West and Central Africa, our ancestors touched the power of love, making it possible
