he Cookout: Reparations & Wealth Building | Part 2

The conversation continues at The Cookout, a Sankofa Sessions live experience bringing together culture, community, and conversation.

In Part 2, co-hosts Kofi Annan and comedian Mu Cuzzo shift the discussion from reparations to wealth building in the Black community.

What does it actually take to build wealth—not just individually, but across families and generations? The conversation explores the barriers that have historically limited Black wealth while also looking forward at what we can do today to strengthen our economic position.

From homeownership and entrepreneurship to investing, financial literacy, supporting Black-owned businesses, and passing assets to the next generation, the discussion gets into the opportunities—and challenges—of turning income into lasting wealth.

🔥 In this episode:
• Building generational wealth
• Homeownership and property ownership
