Edgar Villanueva has the rare ability to tell people exactly what they are doing wrong and for them to love him for it. Whether he’s writing a new treatise on wealth, like his best-selling Decolonizing Wealth, or speaking truth to power on a conference stage, Edgar inspires audiences to take a fierce look within and take radical action in the real world. Few have done more in the last few years to catalyze philanthropic investments in racial equity.

A member of the Lumbee tribe and a loyal New Yorker, Edgar draws on his own experience and extensive research to chart a clear path forward that liberates capital and builds a different kind of financial future. He is rigorous, soulful, and the king of the call in.

Money should be used as a tool of love to facilitate relationships, to help us thrive, rather than hurt and divide us.

—Edgar Villanueva

They have given ground-breaking TED talks and written best-selling books, but, more importantly, their wisdom comes from real world, lived experiences. FRESH speakers routinely grace the world's biggest thought leadership stages, host nonprofit benefits, and keynote Fortune 100 corporate retreats, university lecture series, leading tech conferences, grassroots organizing convenings, and countless other venues, the world over.
