  • Believe in You Money with Jessica Norwood, Nikishka Iyengar, & Andrew X (Part 2)
    Jun 30 2023
    This final episode on Season 2 of the Road to Repair picks up where the previous episode left off by summarizing the discussion around Jessica's upcoming book called "Believe-in-You Money: What Would It Look Like If the Economy Loved Black People?" which focuses on the racial wealth divide, systemic racism in finance, the concept of an economy that loves black people and how it benefits everyone. Jessica then turns the focus back to her cohosts Nikishka and Andrew to share their personal stories about receiving and giving "Believe In You Money" and the impact it had on them and the stories and emotions come pouring forth. Finally, this episode closes out with a classic Black folk song that's guided many seekers in their quest for liberation and repair. Highlights: • Andrew gets choked up recalling an instance where he received "Believe In You Money" from a friend during challenging times and how it made a profound difference in his life. In giving "Believe In You Money" he discusses his participation in an innovative fund that invested in women and people of color-owned enterprises alongside his personal "Believe In You Money" investments. • Nikishka discusses her work at The Guild, an organization focused on community-owned models of land, housing, and real estate. She relates a traumatic experience with a CDFI and shares how working with the Kataly Foundation – which provides integrated capital, including grants and loans, to support projects like theirs – has allowed them to reject harmful practices enforced by other financial institutions and she shares the transformative impact it has had on their organization and team. • An interesting nuance comes up around the pressure and expectations that come with receiving this type of funding and the challenge of receiving love after navigating a loveless space but all express gratitude for the opportunity and repair that it provides. • The cohosts celebrate the completion of this 2nd season of the Road to Repair and invite you to stay tuned for Season 3!

Join us on this journey to demystify love in action and unleash its transformative power in our lives and organizations. Highlights: • Jess & Joanna's Respective Journey: Jess and Joanna share personal anecdotes that influenced their professional journeys. Jess bears witness to small town Palo Alto transforming into Silicon Valley and shares her involvement in promoting Star Trek conventions and exposure to diverse communities that sparked her imagination and curiosity about different economic structures. Joanna discusses her involvement with the Buen Vivir Fund, an international investment fund that stands apart from the norm. The fund's decision-making structure is based on grassroots practices for lending, emphasizing power sharing and instead of financial investors reaping all the rewards, the fund's growth goes back into supporting future projects. • The Love that Catalyzed the Book: The magic truly began when these two phenomenal women met at a women's leadership retreat. Jess wowed Joanna with her spoken word piece, igniting a connection fueled by radical imagination and a shared desire to challenge the structural issues of the economy.

Little did they know that this friendship would evolve into the Beloved Economies research project, which exceeded all expectations and blossomed into the enlightening book we all need in our lives. • The Seven Transformational Practices: Jess & Joanna unpack the seven practices that emerged from their longitudinal research study, including 1) shared decision-making power, 2) prioritizing relationships, 3) reckoning with history, 4) seeking difference, 5) sourcing from multiple ways of knowing, 6) prototyping early and often, and 7) trusting there's time. Further, Jess & Joanna discuss how these practices interact and reinforce one another.
