Black Capitalists: Race, Wealth & Redefining Power with Dr. Rachel Laryea | The Soul Story® Show What does it really mean to be a Black capitalist? In this powerful episode, host Brooke-Sidney Harbour sits down with scholar and author Dr. Rachel Laryea to unpack her book Black Capitalists: The Story of Race, Identity, and the Making of Black Wealth. From redefining capitalism through a communal lens to the radical framework of the undercommons, this conversation challenges assumptions about race, money, and power—and offers a grounded roadmap for building generational wealth with integrity. What You'll Learn • How Dr. Laryea defines "Black capitalist" (and how it differs from simply "participating in capitalism") • Why abundance mindset + community must replace scarcity and individualism • The undercommons: leveraging institutions' resources for marginalized communities • Diaspora insights: Ghana's Year of Return, pan-African investing, and a global Black wealth lens • Is education still the path to generational wealth—or is that belief shifting? • Will AI and crypto accelerate or entrench the racial wealth gap? • Case study: Esusu & reporting rent to build credit—using "the master's tools" for equitable outcomes • Tactical wisdom: authenticity vs. strategy in rooms not built for us Chapters (Timestamps) 0:00 Intro — Welcome to The Soul Story® Show 1:12 Meet Dr. Rachel Laryea & Black Capitalists 1:30 The soul of the book: personal + communal reasons it had to be written 3:12 "Black capitalists don't exist?"—why this discourse matters 5:03 Education, immigrant grit, and access—Dr. Laryea's early story 10:19 Defining Black capitalist vs. Black capitalism (Nixon-era vs. her definition) 12:39 Abundance, community, anti-extraction: re-orienting how we use capital 16:02 What the research revealed (diaspora throughline, Africa focus) 18:43 Year of Return (Ghana), pan-Africanism, and global Black futures 21:02 Why private equity & real estate—and why culture matters too 22:30 The Undercommons (Moten & Harney): resistance, refusal, radical possibility 24:55 Undercommons in practice (e.g., JPMorgan African Alliance, social/human capital) 27:01 Strategy versus "fitting in": navigating power spaces without losing yourself 30:18 Is education still the pathway to Black wealth?
