    Season 4: Episode 2 | Cheryl Morrow, CEO, California Curls, Founder, San Diego Monitor News Network
    Jan 26 2026
    The "Gap Minders" podcast, hosted by Jose Cruz, discusses the concept of the wealth gap, emphasizing that it is not a natural gap but a manufactured one. Cheryl Morrow argues that the wealth gap is a barrier created by historical and systemic issues, not a simple disparity in wealth. She advocates for self-reliance and entering industries where black people can outperform, as her father did. The conversation highlights the importance of redefining wealth beyond financial metrics and the need for a holistic approach to addressing these gaps. The episode aims to inspire listeners to become gaptivists, taking small steps towards closing these gaps.
