Stolen Legacies

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the dark history of the life insurance industry. A history built on racial inequality, exploitation, and exclusion. Did you know that life insurance once commodified Black lives, pricing policies based on race and reinforcing systemic barriers to wealth? From discriminatory premiums to predatory policies, we break down how financial institutions stacked the deck against marginalized communities and how those injustices still echo today. As we honor Black History Month, this episode isn’t just about uncovering history — it’s about breaking the cycle and building generational wealth for the future. Let’s rewrite the narrative.
