Ep 89 Black CDFIs

In this episode, Jewel sits down with Justin Minott, VP of Membership at the African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs, for a deeply inspiring conversation on Black economic liberation, community transformation, and what it really means to be resourced, not just resourceful. Justin unpacks his global journey from Canadian roots to U.S. leadership, his early ventures in social impact and entrepreneurship, and the calling that led him to champion CDFIs—America’s best-kept secret for community financing. With stories of real-world transformation, powerful capital deployment, and a vision to equip Black-led institutions with what they truly need, Justin offers a compelling look at how access, equity, and togetherness can reshape our financial future.
