<![CDATA[The Freedom Builders Series with Dr. Janelle Williams]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-freedom-builders-series-with-dr-janelle-williams Hosted by Dr. Janelle Williams, co-founder and CEO of Kindred Futures, the Freedom Builders series brings together organizers, thinkers, movement leaders, and community builders for candid conversations about the forces shaping our communities, economies, and systems. Each episode explores how we can build collective Black wealth, strengthen civic and community power, finance the infrastructure our movements need, and create new possibilities beyond systems that were never designed for everyone to thrive.

Grounded in the experiences and leadership of people across the South, Freedom Builders moves beyond diagnosing inequity to examine what we are building in its place. Through honest reflection, lived experience, and bold imagination, guests consider what this moment demands of us, and what it will take to create a future in which our children inherit greater choice, agency, and freedom.

Janelle opens the series with a premise central to Kindred Futures’ work: “I’m on a mission to continue to bolster collective Black wealth with the intent that wealth is used to finance our freedom.”

That idea, financing freedom, becomes the thread running through the conversation.

Atkins and Williams speak to a moment of extraordinary pressure on communities and the institutions working alongside them. But rather than narrow the response to a single strategy, Atkins argues for a much broader understanding of how power is built.
