Empowering Minds, Reclaiming Wealth
Welcome to our Freedom School for Financial Literacy. I’m Nathaniel Steele, and I created this platform to confront the silence—and confusion—around money in Black communities. Inspired by the spirit of the original Freedom Schools, this space is dedicated to teaching the complete financial narrative: the traps we weren’t warned about, the tools we never got, and the legacy we still have time to build.
With 38 years of investigative and leadership experience, I know that clarity is power, and that unfiltered financial truth can change a life, a family, a future. Here, we teach money without shame, systems without jargon, and legacy without delay.
For deeper reflections on leadership, race, and wealth, visit Nathaniel Steele – Medium on Medium. My essays explore everything from organizational dysfunction to generational repair—and what it really means to build with integrity.
Together, we’re reclaiming more than dollars. We’re reclaiming dignity, direction, and a future that belongs to us.
