Presented by Malik Books and Pan African Film Festival (PAFF)
Join Malik Books for a powerful and timely evening with John Hope Bryant, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and founder, chairman and CEO of Operation HOPE, as he discusses his new book, Capitalism for All: Inclusive Economics and the Future-Proofing of America.
The conversation will be moderated by Arlan Hamilton, entrepreneur, investor, and bestselling author known for breaking barriers in venture capital and championing entrepreneurs who have historically been overlooked.
Together, Bryant and Hamilton will explore some of the most important economic questions facing our communities today: How do we create greater access to opportunity? How can financial literacy, entrepreneurship, ownership, and investment become tools for building lasting wealth? And how can capitalism work for more people—not just a select few?
This will be more than a book talk. It will be a thought-provoking conversation about economic empowerment, financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, ownership, opportunity, and the future of wealth in America.
