If your liberation work ignores capital, you're not doing the whole work.

This episode isn't another "buy Black" PSA or a feel-good nod to small businesses.

This is a wake-up call.

Nikki unpacks how money has always been at the center of our oppression and how it fuels white dominance, criminalizes Black existence, and terrorizes Black wealth.

Then, she flips the script and tells you exactly how Black businesses are dismantling capitalism in real time.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why Black capitalism is not the answer—but Black businesses are still revolutionary.

• The historical lineage of economic oppression from Black codes to the Tulsa Massacre.

• How to divest from grind culture and create businesses that are tools for liberation, not tools for exploitation.

This one's not just about surviving the system. It's about subverting it.

If you're building a business that aligns with your values and serves your people, this episode is your reminder:

Your business isn't a contradiction. It can be a contribution.
