On Planet Wekeza, Sabrina Lamb welcomes Konko Ba (Wolof, Senegal) and Nafessah Wazir (Harari, Ethiopia) for a culture-first conversation on how language shapes money—how we name saving and risk, why family support spans the U.S. and back home, and what “safe” assets really mean across the diaspora. From sou-sou/tontines to remittances, we unpack the traditions that build security—and which Western tools to adapt or skip.

The Freedman's Bank, established in 1865, aimed to empower newly freed slaves through financial literacy and economic opportunity. However, mismanagement and exploitation led to its devastating collapse in 1874, robbing many of their hard-earned savings. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Professor Justene Hill Edwards, author of 'The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman's Bank,' to uncover the complex history of this institution, its role in the Reconstruction era, and its lasting impact on the African American community and the racial wealth gap.
