    Our Diaspora: Money. Language. Culture.

    Send a text On Planet Wekeza, Sabrina Lamb welcomes Konko Ba (Wolof, Senegal) and Nafessah Wazir (Harari, Ethiopia) for a culture-first conversation on how language shapes money—how we name saving and risk, why family support spans the U.S. and back home, and what “safe” assets really mean across the diaspora. From sou-sou/tontines to remittances, we unpack the traditions that build security—and which Western tools to adapt or skip. #LanguageMatters #AfricanDiaspora #Wolof #Harari #Senegal #Ethiopia #DiasporaFinance #Entrepreneurship #Investing #PlanetWekeza #WekezaApp #generationalwealth #financialeducation #financialliteracy #Africa Join our global online financial empowerment community at Wekeza.com Follow us @Wekeza.com
