In this powerful conversation, the BWR crew reunites with Rahkim Sabree, financial therapist and thought leader, to explore the deep roots of financial trauma—especially as it affects the Black community. From his personal story of growing up in Mount Vernon to leaving corporate America to pursue entrepreneurship, Rahkim unpacks how generational trauma, systemic barriers, and cultural programming shape how we save, spend, and invest.

The conversation dives deep into the neurological, emotional, and societal roots of money behavior—highlighting the six types of financial trauma, how capitalism commodifies Black emotion, and why healing is just as important as strategy.
