824. Insights: Fighting civil inequality...

11:FS
About this episode

In celebration of US Black History Month, our expert host Kate Moody, Strategy Director at 11:FS, is joined by some great guests to discuss civil inequality in the banking system.


This week's guests include:

  • Rodney Williams, Co-Founder at SoLo Funds
  • Jamilia Grier, Founder & CEO at ByteBao
  • Asya Bradley, Founder and Angel Investor


Conversations around inclusion are much bigger than just banking. It’s a systemic problem which has always existed and still remains a very real issue today, and this episode tackles these issues head on.

They discuss how and why non-white communities are being underserved by traditional banks and celebrate some of the work being done to tackle that.

They also look at how we can harness fintech for good to drive meaningful change.
