As part of a collaborative research project between people from racialised communities, London School of Economics and Equality Trust, Puchal shares his insights into what is wealth, what helps and hinders people from racialised communities to build wealth and what could make a difference. The research was funded by the British Academy Innovation Fellowship Scheme (Fellowship number IF2324/24008). You can find the summary briefing from this project and any further information from www.equalitytrust.org.uk
- This storyteller talks about wealth in terms of financial security and about the importance of Investing in people as a way of achieving financial security
- The storyteller also talks about how the intersection of ethnicity/race and religion combined with being older have experienced discrimination in the hiring process (although he acquired law degree as a mature student) as a barrier to building wealth
- In terms of what could facilitate/enable people from ethnic communities to build wealth the storyteller highlighted a co-op practice used by many West African communities as a means to achieve short/medium or long-term goals (e.g raising money for university fees or buying a car) and mentioned of how this could be used to facilitate homeownership for disadvantaged ethnic/racial communities.
