    02: Donovan Ramsey on Black identity, history of policing and the need for racial equity

    As a friend and accomplished journalist focusing on the topic of black identity, politics and patterns of power in America, Farnoosh catches up with Donovan Ramsey to discuss his upcoming book, When Crack Was King, which chronicles the 1980’s and 1990’s epidemic, its misperceptions and the way policing changed during those years, as well as Donovan’s own experiences with racial discrimination in graduate school and beyond. Also, they discuss the truth about what publishing pays. Donovan and Farnoosh disclose their book advances. More about Donovan: He is called “an indispensable voice on issues of racial identity, politics, and patterns of power in America,” by American culture critic Rich Benjamin. Donovan’s commentary on racial politics during the Obama era has been featured in The New York Times and his reporting and commentary on the criminal justice system have appeared in outlets including WSJ Magazine, The Atlantic, GQ, Gawker, BuzzFeed, Vice, and Ebony, among others. Donovan served most recently as the commentary editor at The Marshall Project, a Pulitzer Prize-winning news organization dedicated to the U.S. criminal legal system. Before The Marshall Project, he worked as an editor and writer at a number of outlets including Complex, NewsOne, and NBC’s theGrio.com. Donovan holds a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Morehouse College. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, and is currently completing his first book, a history of the crack cocaine epidemic for One World—an imprint of Random House, a division of Penguin Random House, the world’s largest trade book publisher.

    06: Why we have to stop calling it the "racial wealth gap" with entrepreneur Yemi Rose

    Entrepreneur Yemi Rose is the founder of OfColor, a digital financial wellness platform focused on providing content and banking tools built around how people of color save, spend, and build our legacies differently. We discuss the role financial services has played and continues to play in widening the racial wealth gap.Growing up in Jamaica and the differences of “being Black” there versus here in the United States. Why we may want to rethink the expression “racial wealth gap.” Does it deserve a renaming? How his startup OfColor will provide better access to financial tools and education to an underserved community. Yemi has spent almost two decades at the intersection of financial services and communications/marketing focused on financial wellness, most recently as the Vice President of Financial Wellness Enterprise Initiatives with Prudential Financials’ Global Communications Group.

He writes and speaks extensively on the racial wealth gap, and his writings on the subject have been published in Black Enterprise, The Root, Blavity, and Money.com. After beginning his career as a Capital Markets Intelligence Associate for Thomson Financial, he served as an Investor Relations Director for several top-tier financial communications agencies, before moving to in-house roles. He has served as a senior executive at KPMG and BlackRock Inc., where he worked on helping them to maximize the value of their acquisitions and fintech ventures.
