Dismantling of the Black Economy with Steven Lott

Every first Saturday of the month on Urban Family Focus, we bring you BWAARP—our Black Wealth Attainment & Retention Program—where we tackle the pressing issues around financial literacy, wealth protection, and generational empowerment in Black communities.

In this eye-opening episode, we’re joined by Steven Lott, Director of Design at RAW International and a thought leader who brings together behavioral science and architectural design to serve communities in meaningful ways. Together, we unpack the systemic dismantling of the Black economy—how it happened, who benefits, and what it will take to rebuild and reclaim.

Steven brings a powerful, people-centered perspective as we examine the role of space, policy, and equity in economic justice. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a blueprint for building back stronger, smarter, and more united.
