#68 Chesline Pierre-Paul on decolonising our relationship with money through multidirectional wealth-building
“Without money that is managed and grown into wealth multidirectionally, we’re just recreating the same cycles every time. You have a bit more privilege, less unpacked, but we never have financial freedom and so money in this sense is a thing that creates stability enough in our projects, in our organisations and all the work that we do, that the baseline of what we do isn’t starting at the level of survival. ”
How can we begin to decolonise our relationship to money as a means to heal intergenerational poverty that perpetuates cycles of survivorship and struggle for disenfranchised peoples? In what ways can we use our privilege to transform capitalist and colonial economic paradigms to ones which promote the multidirectional use of money as an instrument to true freedom?
In today’s episode, we are joined Chesline Pierre-Paul, an multi-award-winning DEI expert and global thought leader. Their mission is to help the most disenfranchised humans on Earth go from generational debt and poverty to multi-generational wealth and healing.

Ches shows them how to thrive, not survive, in a White man's world without selling out, giving up, or settling.
