Hello everyone! Thank you all for joining us—whether you were with us live or are watching the replay. We were truly honored to host Tonya M. Evans, a leading voice helping ensure our communities are not left behind in the digital economy. In this conversation we covered everything from overcoming fear around crypto to building what I call indestructible Black wealth. Below are notes from this powerful session.

Before attending Howard University School of Law, she played professional tennis for four years, even qualifying for the US Open in 1993. Today she consults with governments around the world, helping demystify digital assets and separate fact from fiction so our communities are not left behind. Rethinking Our Relationship with Money At its core, money is a shared agreement built on trust. Since the U.S. left the gold standard, our money is backed by the full faith and credit of the government . In reality, most money is already digital—when you use Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, or direct deposit, you are simply moving numbers across digital ledgers. The banking system operates on fractional reserves, lending out deposits while insuring only up to $250,000.

Welcome to the King's Circle Replay! In this profound session, we were honored to be joined by Nadirah Goldsmith. Here are the key takeaways from our powerful conversation exploring faith, ancestral connections, and navigating life's journey. The video from the session is attached, and for those who can make the time, you'll no doubt have some key takeaways. What we learned about Nadirah Goldsmith: - Not only is Nadirah a multifaceted creator—a producer, writer, mother, activist, spiritual practitioner, and actress—but she is also a fellow member of the King's Circle community! - After completing Army basic training right out of high school, she pivoted her path to attend Bennett College (an all-women's HBCU in North Carolina), where she changed her major from education to psychology. - She holds a deep awareness of her ancestral timing, noting the synchronicity of being born in April 1976 while Alex Haley's groundbreaking series Roots was filming. The Power of Trusting the Unknown - Nadirah shared that true spiritual magic happens when we are willing to walk in the unknown. - She recounted stepping out on faith to travel and work, including trips to Belize during the pandemic and navigating unexpected challenges, like a rental car falling through. - Her advice for the community: Don't worry about seeing the entire staircase; just focus on taking one step at a time. Channeling the Ancestors on a Ryan Coogler Film Set: - Nadirah shared her incredible experience working in New Orleans on a Ryan Coogler film (under the working title "Grilled Cheese"). - She worked as a background actress in two deeply historical and emotional scenes: a church scene and a sharecropper scene. - She described the set's energy as profoundly "ancestral," noting that the cast and crew were incredibly humble and intentional. - While filming the sharecropper scene—picking cotton in the sweltering heat—she felt an intense connection to her ancestors, channeling their survival, pain, and ultimate strength to bring the scene to life.
