From Trap Museums to Tech: Investing in Culture with William "Bam" Sparks

What do trap music, eSports, and closing the digital divide have in common? One man—and a powerful mission.

In this episode, Britt Hunter sits down with William “Bam” Sparks to unpack his journey from co-founding the Trap Museum to launching Culture Wireless—an internet company on a mission to make access equitable for Black communities and HBCUs. We talk about the "data rich", the digital divide, black people investing in each other, and tampons...yes, you read that right, tampons!
