Can We Reimagine Capitalism? Dr. Rachel Laryea on Wealth, Culture & Liberation”
Dr. Rachel Laryea—Yale double-PhD, former Goldman Sachs analyst, JPMorgan researcher, and founder of Kelewele—joins CJ Moneyway for a powerful conversation on reimagining capitalism. They discuss whether Black professionals can thrive in existing systems without replicating oppression, building intergenerational wealth, and reshaping capitalism for collective good.
On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show — powered by CJ Moneyway Entertainment and Bleav Network — CJ sits down with Dr. Rachel Laryea, a powerhouse at the intersection of finance, culture, and social impact.
She’s a Yale-trained double-PhD, former Goldman Sachs analyst, current JPMorgan researcher, and the founder of Kelewele, a cultural lifestyle brand that honors West African heritage and values.
