Ep23 - Building an Anti-Racist and Reparative Economy with Jessica Norwood

Show Notes

Kate sits down with Jessica Norwood for a conversation about reimagining finance and capital through building an anti-racist and reparative economy.

Through her guiding question "what would it look like if the economy loved Black people?", Jessica asks us to lean into our imaginations to transform our economic systems. They talk about how her organization, Runway, and the recently launched Rooted Fund practice reparative finance through lending decisions and entrepreneur support that prioritize long-term community relationships over extractive returns.

Expanding the definition of investment, Jessica invites listeners to consider how everyone can be an investor in creating a more just and loving economy.
