S4E11: Race, Money, and Generational Wealth with Iffy Ibekwe

Naked Conversations: Race, Culture, & Beyond

On today’s show we welcome our first guest of the season - the brilliant attorney Ifeoma Ibekwe - who specializes in estate planning for women of color.

We discuss:

• How a budding studio artist became an attorney
• How being the child of immigrant parents impacted her career
• Generational wealth, its importance, and the connection to worthiness
• The historical systems that work against Black Americans creating generational wealth
• The power of land ownership for generations to come
