Social Innovation In Money Pooling Systems For Immigrant Women

The perspective of Juliet ‘Kego is not one to miss. Her life-long and cross-cultural experience with ROSCAs, or money pooling systems, have allowed her to craft a unique take on how its users can unite regardless of their racial or cultural affiliation. Without forgetting to highlight why the Banker Ladies spearheading this initiative are Black, she pays tribute to the multicultural integration necessary for ROSCAs to flourish in Canada no less. In this pioneering conversation, Juliet ‘Kego and your host Serena Bahadur consider the role of multicultural integration in the social innovation of our money pooling systems. As these systems inevitably take hold in the Canadian cooperative sector, Serena and Juliet reimagine a financial economy where ROSCAs, immigrant women, women of color, and youth take center stage.
