History doesn’t always repeat, but it echoes loudly. In today’s episode, "Who Gets to Decide What Your Labor is Worth?", host Jacquette dives into the overlooked legacy of Black labor activists who fought for equity while being denied it themselves. Despite pushing for justice for all workers, they were excluded from the very movements they helped build, leading to the creation of The Colored National Labor Union (CNLU) in 1869. Through this retelling, Jacquette implores listeners to rethink pricing and pay—not just as numbers, but as acts of self-advocacy. Whether you're negotiating a raise or setting your rates, claiming your worth is a radical, personal form of activism. And no one is better positioned to lead that charge than you.

In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Professor Tonya M. Evans reflects on her journey through Accra, from walking through W.E.B. Du Bois’ home to standing at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial, and connects these powerful moments in history to the future of Africa’s digital economy. Drawing from her keynote at the Digital Assets Summit Africa, she explores Ghana’s pioneering role with mobile money and the upcoming eCedi CBDC, Nigeria’s new securities framework for virtual assets, and South Africa’s licensing regime for crypto providers.
