Wealth Is a Tool, Not the Destination: A Lesson from Bamba Day
I recently attended the Bamba Day Parade in New York, where Cheikh Mame Mor Mbacke, the grandson of Cheikh ...Ahmadou Bamba, shared a simple but life-changing truth in Wolof:
“Alal jumtu kay la du jummu way.”
(Wealth is a tool, not the destination.)
This episode is a heartfelt message for immigrants and dreamers who are chasing success in a new land—often risking their health, family, and peace for money.
Inside this episode:
• Why wealth is a means, not an end
• A powerful story about sending “good deeds ahead” to your final destination
• How to make money serve your life instead of controlling it
• Lessons from Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba that can guide your hustle with purpose
If you’re striving for success, this episode will help you realign your focus and remember that true wealth is the legacy you build and the good you send ahead.
