Re-empowerment through historically centered re-education

In this episode of How to be the Difference, Johanna and Paul sit down with Esi Kagale Agyeman Gillo, co-founder and President of DIFFvelopment, a nonprofit organization that empowers Black visionary leaders to prioritize historically and globally conscious community-minded entrepreneurial activity.

Esi is inspired by how personal development and entrepreneurship can re-empower the global Black community. She addresses the repercussions that Black economics, the African diaspora, and colonialism have had on the modern Black experience – including access to internship opportunities as a Black person.

Esi talks about the importance of understanding one’s own history to become an agent of change and how DIFFvelopment equips Black visionaries with the tools and knowledge needed to overcome those structural and historical barriers.
