In this impactful episode of the #BusinessFirstPodcast, host #SoniaAlleyne sits down once again with entrepreneur and visionary #RobertBlackwellJr. to explore the vital role of economic empowerment in the #BlackCommunity. Reflecting on the enduring legacy of #BlackWallStreet, Blackwell challenges outdated charity models and calls for a shift toward building human and social capital as the foundation for lasting prosperity.

He highlights the importance of organizations like #TecsDotLove in fostering entrepreneurship and free enterprise, while also addressing the failures of government systems to create real economic opportunity. Blackwell urges Black communities—especially #BlackWomen—to hold elected officials accountable and unite around the shared goal of economic success.

This conversation is a call to action for those committed to closing the wealth gap, supporting Black-owned businesses, and demanding a seat at the economic table.
