Listen "The Hidden Engine Behind Poverty"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Apex Ascend, Rodney LaBruce continues the “Understanding Poverty” series with one of the most important truths of all. Poverty is not random. It is not natural. It is created. And one of the engines that keeps it running is discrimination. Rodney breaks down the historical roots of discrimination, the coded language that evolved into modern policy, and the ways bias still shapes jobs, housing, education, lending, and healthcare today. If we want to end poverty, we must confront the systems that were built to hold people back. This episode is a call to clarity, a call to courage, and a call to action.
