In February 2017, I was on phone call with Konda Mason and Jessica Norwood to learn about The Runway Project Oakland. I had recently met Konda and Jessica at local investing conferences, and I knew they were both powerful visionaries building the next economy. On the call I was struck by a contradiction in my own work-- I realized that while I was giving money to black led organizing for black liberation, I wasn’t giving money to investment projects working to build intergenerational black wealth.
