What if access to money was access to health?In this powerful episode of The Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show, host Michael Stamatinos sits down with Sabrina Lamb, Founder and CEO of Wekeza and World of Money, for a deep conversation about how financial inclusion is the next frontier of public health.Sabrina is a force for access and equity. As the first Black woman to launch a global investing app for the African diaspora, she’s breaking centuries-old barriers that have kept entire communities locked out of the financial system. Through Wekeza, users can invest in U.S. markets starting with just one dollar, while learning in their native language, from English and Swahili to French, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Wolof, and Zulu.But Sabrina’s work goes far beyond money. It’s about dignity. It’s about agency. It’s about giving people the tools to reclaim their power, build generational wealth, and improve their overall health.This episode explores how financial health is inseparable from physical, emotional, and community health — and why access to education, housing, food, and opportunity all shape the future of care.Together, Michael and Sabrina unpack the psychology of money, cultural narratives that shape financial behavior, and how language and storytelling can dismantle fear and build trust. You’ll hear about Sabrina’s journey from comedy stages to congressional recognition, from teaching in Nairobi to launching a global fintech company — and how humor, purpose, and resilience are her secret weapons for impact.In This Episode:* The link between financial access and health outcomes* How Wekeza is redefining financial inclusion for the African diaspora* Why financial literacy is a public health intervention* How trauma and cultural conditioning shape our relationship with money* The role of language, humor, and culture in teaching financial empowerment* Why access to capital, food, and education are as critical as access to care* What the future of financial health innovation looks likeAbout Sabrina Lamb:Sabrina Lamb is a celebrated founder, speaker, and advocate for financial inclusion and cultural empowerment.
