In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans sits down with Peter Frimpong Manso, convener of the Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA), to unpack how digital assets are transforming Africa’s financial future.

History doesn’t always repeat, but it echoes loudly. In today’s episode, "Who Gets to Decide What Your Labor is Worth?", host Jacquette dives into the overlooked legacy of Black labor activists who fought for equity while being denied it themselves. Despite pushing for justice for all workers, they were excluded from the very movements they helped build, leading to the creation of The Colored National Labor Union (CNLU) in 1869. Through this retelling, Jacquette implores listeners to rethink pricing and pay—not just as numbers, but as acts of self-advocacy. Whether you're negotiating a raise or setting your rates, claiming your worth is a radical, personal form of activism. And no one is better positioned to lead that charge than you.Financial Behaviorist Jacquette M.
