What happens when financial literacy becomes more than just a skill but a vehicle for healing, empowerment, and transformation?
In today’s episode of the REPRESENTED Podcast, I’m in conversation with Fabrice Omankoy, founder of Black Wealth Connect, a bold and brilliant platform shifting the way we talk about money, ownership, and community within the Black diaspora.
Fabrice’s journey is anything but typical. From growing up in a small Australian town to playing pro soccer and eventually finding his purpose in finance, he shares how discipline, curiosity, and the audacity to name things as they are led to the creation of a platform that’s educating and elevating a generation.
We speak about:
- Growing up with limited access to financial literacy and the ripple effects of generational money trauma
- Why Fabrice boldly chose to centre “Black” in Black Wealth Connect and what that name really means
- The trust deficit in Black communities, how it’s formed, and what we can do to change it
- The discipline and excellence required to build credibility, especially when serving your own
- Why fear isn’t the enemy, but a compass and how to act even when it’s present.
This is one of those episodes that will leave you thinking deeply about how we build wealth not just in dollars, but in trust, mindset, and community.
Hit play and join us for this rich, expansive, and necessary conversation.
