What does it mean to be wealthy beyond money and material assets?
At the latest BADGE Lecture Series event, presented in partnership with The August Wilson Society (AWS), Dr. LaTanya White (Dr. LaTanya White | Family Wealth Architect™) and Dr. Khalid Y. Long (Khalid Y. Long, PhD) brought Black wealth, cultural inheritance, entrepreneurship, community, and August Wilson’s American Century Cycle into conversation.
From The Piano Lesson and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom to Jitney and Radio Golf, the discussion examined what we inherit, what we preserve, who controls the value we create, and what we ultimately pass forward.
The conversation continued into a lively audience Q&A, underscoring a definition of wealth that extends beyond capital to include knowledge, relationships, spirituality, agency, memory, and community.
