KEYNOTES, PANELS &
FIRESIDE CONVERSATIONS.
An unusual mix of music, social entrepreneurship, finance and community enablement — brought into rooms that rarely hear them together. Honest, specific, and free of ESG theatre.
A voice from between the worlds.
RoU876 sits at an unusual intersection: a working artist releasing dancehall from Jamaica, and a social business financing community-led enterprises with patient capital. Talks connect those worlds without flattening either — the culture stays real, the economics stay honest.
Every talk is prepared for the specific audience. No stock deck, no ESG buzzwords, no saviour narratives — just a clear argument about what enablement actually looks like when capital, culture and community meet.
Nine starting points. Always tailored.
From ESG to enablement
Why the next decade of impact belongs to organizations that build capability instead of publishing reports.
Music as social infrastructure
How culture, lyrics and community rituals can carry a serious economic agenda without losing artistic integrity.
Patient capital in practice
Social lending, below-market rates, ring-fenced facilities — what actually works when you finance community businesses.
Local ownership vs. extraction
Designing operating models where communities lead, decide and keep the value they create.
AI, automation & the efficiency dividend
What corporations should build with the gains — and how to route them into community capability.
Building trust across cultures
Working respectfully between global capital and local communities without romanticizing either side.
Dancehall, identity & the diaspora
How Jamaican music travels, what it carries, and why it belongs at the center of a serious business conversation.
Founding a social business
Lessons from building RoU876 — structure, financing, contributors, governance and honest mistakes.
