Episode 20 Part 1: The connection between land ownership and generational wealth

 

Episode 20 is a different type of episode. We felt like 20 episodes (if you don't count the Christmas and New Year specials) was a milestone episode so we decided to talk about land and the importance of land when it comes to building generational wealth.

In episode 18, we heard how in Zambia people don't want to buy apartments because they see land as wealth.

So we invited 2 guests to talk about this, which is why episode 20 is split into 2.

Our guest in part 1, is Keidra King, she is African American, she shares a beautiful story of her ancestor, Agnes, 7 generations back.

Agnes was a slave and when she got her freedom, she was given land. She decided to use that land to plant apple trees.

Those apple trees helped her make a living and support her children.

Because of those apple trees and the land, Agnes' grandchildren were able to attend university, 2 generations after slavery.

That college education mean that the next generation had a better stepping stone and has been involved in a lot of revolutionary events in African American society.

All this from one plot of land.

We spoke to Keidra about so many other things and you will just have to listen to the podcast to hear what was covered.

We cannot wait to hear your feedback.
