  • Beyond "Corporate Minimum Wage": How Black Women are Accessing the 1% Wealth Playbook

    Beyond "Corporate Minimum Wage": How Black Women are Accessing the 1% Wealth Playbook
    Apr 30 2026

    We've been taught one playbook: go to school, climb the corporate ladder and save in a 401k. But what if there's a brand-new playbook the elite are using that they didn't tell us about?

    Kamika welcomes Stephanie Dorsey (CEO of Margins Capital) to the sanctuary discuss why high-level corporate salaries are essentially "corporate minimum wage" and how she is building an "overground railroad" for Black women to access institutional-quality investments. From leaving a career in law for the Peace Corps to launching a venture fund with access to companies like SpaceX, Stephanie shares how to unlearn corporate conditioning and start embodying a 9-figure mindset today.

    Stephanie Dorsey is the CEO and Co‑founder of Margins Capital, an investment firm giving women and BIPOC investors access to private equity, late‑stage venture, and commercial real estate. A former attorney turned Peace Corps volunteer and Kellogg MBA, she spent a decade in product at Capital One before leading product at Metric Collective. She now builds pathways into alternative investments and hosts What The Wealthy Do.
