What if the issue isn't that Black America doesn't have money—but what happens to our money after we spend it?

In Episode 49 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, we're talking about Black wealth, Black spending power, ownership, collective economics, community support, and what could happen if we intentionally started building together.

And I'm officially introducing my listeners to UWI and the idea behind the power of just $1.

This conversation isn't simply about becoming rich. It's about creating ownership, building businesses, sharing resources and skills, supporting our communities, protecting future generations, and leaving something behind.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The difference between income, spending power, and actual wealth • Why earning more doesn't automatically create generational wealth • Black spending power and where our dollars go • Supporting Black-owned and local businesses • Why we have to stop expecting discounts and freebies from small businesses • Ownership vs. consumption • Learning and teaching valuable skills within our communities • The power of collective economics • Why trust, transparency, and accountability matter • What we could accomplish when large numbers of people contribute small amounts • The vision behind UWI • How $1 can become powerful when it's multiplied by a community • Building opportunities instead of waiting for someone else to create them • What we can start doing TODAY to create a different future

The power isn't necessarily in one person's dollar.

The power is in participation.

This episode asks us to imagine what's possible if we stop looking only at what we don't have and start organizing what we DO have.

What if we supported each other's businesses?

What if we shared knowledge?

What if we taught each other skills?

What if we created opportunities?

What if we intentionally built something our children could inherit?

And most importantly...

What if it actually worked?
