'By Every Measure' Season 2: The $1B vision to close Black Milwaukee's generational wealth gap


Listen Later

HYFIN Program Director Tarik Moody is back with co-host Reggie Jackson and journalist Kim Shine for another season of Radio Milwaukee's award winning podcast, By Every Measure. Over six episodes, the trio will take over our regular Uniquely Milwaukee podcast will explore new topics and expand on select topics we covered in season one. By Every Measure Season 2 is supported by The Argosy Foundation.

Black and Brown Americans, for many interconnected and systemic reasons, have struggled to keep pace with their White counterparts in building generational wealth. After exploring some of the reasons earlier this season, Tarik Moody and Reggie Jackson use this episode to discuss solutions around another necessary component to build generational wealth: access to capital for entrepreneurs.

Then, Tarik talks with Kevin Newell of Royal Capital, a Milwaukee-based private equity firm pouring millions into developments targeted at closing the racial wealth gap. He shares his $1 billion dollar vision for the city and how his work intersects with community partners. Finally, Ken Robertson of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation explains why representation is so important in this work.

If you'd like to continue the conversation, we encourage you to join our By Every Measure discussion group on Radio Milwaukee's Facebook page. Each week, we open a dialogue on the episode's topic with daily conversation prompts and a virtual meet-up to discuss responses and navigate the community conversations collectively.
