Projections are made all the time regarding our financial future. Systems are analyzing the data of where we are right now to predict our future. In today’s conversation, I am joined by De’Von Truvel, creator of the game Play Black Wall Street. We talk about the future of Black wealth in America and why it is up to us to change the narrative of what is spoken over our lives.

This was an especially inspiring and emotional conversation as we both recently returned from a trip to Ghana. You’ll hear how we both were affected by the experience and how we were both empowered to learn the true beginning of Black history and the resilient nature of our culture.

In this episode, you’ll also hear how De’Von first developed the concept for his game and how it became an entire business over time. He shares excellent lessons on overcoming perfectionism, creating an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), and what it was like to work with business investors and advisors who don’t fully understand your project.

De’Von has a big vision for his company, and his game, Play Black Wall Street, is only one piece of the puzzle. The future holds a multi-layered approach to educating and entertaining folks about Black history, and I’m excited to hear about what’s to come.
