Interview with Maalii Kentake & Dr. T. Owens Moore

Why does the racial wealth gap still exist, and what can be done to close it?
As we close out 2025, Let’s Talk Drive Time delivers one of its most urgent and thought-provoking conversations yet—examining systemic economic inequality, collective responsibility, and the blueprint needed to protect our shared humanity.

Joined by Maalii Kentake and Dr. T. Owens Moore, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond surface-level explanations and confront the historical, structural, and psychological forces that continue to shape wealth disparities today.

The racial wealth gap is not accidental—it is the result of generations of policy decisions, exclusion, and unequal access to opportunity.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What the racial wealth gap actually is

  • Why it persists across generations

  • The role of housing, education, employment, and inheritance

  • How historical injustice continues to shape modern outcomes

  • Why “equal opportunity” alone is not enough

This conversation moves beyond statistics to focus on real-world impact and accountability.

Closing the racial wealth gap requires intention, structure, and collective action.

Our guests discuss:

  • Community-led economic solutions

  • Why financial literacy alone is not the answer

  • The importance of ownership, investment, and policy reform

  • How shared economic blueprints can create sustainable change

  • What responsibility looks like at both individual and collective levels

As the episode makes clear: a blueprint is needed, and the time to act is now.

In a deeply reflective segment, the conversation shifts to a powerful question:
What is your most irrational fear—and where did it come from?

This discussion connects:

  • Fear and economic insecurity

  • Collective trauma and inherited anxiety

  • How inequality erodes our shared humanity

  • Why healing must be part of justice

The episode reminds us that the war against our collective humanity is not abstract—it is lived every day.

A defining message of this episode is the reminder that:

Our ancestors did it before. Today, the mantle falls on us.

Standing on their shoulders, the discussion calls listeners to:

  • Honour ancestral resilience

  • Accept responsibility for future generations

  • Build systems rooted in dignity, justice, and unity
