Dignity & Wealth Program
La Dignité d'abord
Live Well — Leave a Legacy
A Wealth & Dignity Conversation for Our Community · La vérité sur l'assurance vie — enfin, parlons-en.
CDMA Family Gathering — First Edition
Saturday, April 25, 2026
DFW, Texas
Breaking the Silence
Why This Conversation Cannot Wait
The Cost of Silence
In many Congolese and African households, talking about death, insurance, or legacy is taboo. But silence has a cost — families left unprepared, dreams left unfinished, dignity compromised in the most painful moments.
A New Conversation
La Dignité d'abord exists to change that. This is a safe, culturally grounded space where we replace fear with financial empowerment, and taboo with truth.
Ce n'est pas une conversation sur la mort — c'est une conversation sur la vie bien vécue et l'héritage bien préparé.
Programme de la Soirée
Three Powerful Sessions
Each session is designed to move you — from awareness to action, from silence to strategy.
1
Breaking the Silence: Why Life Insurance Matters
Dr. Mputu Mayabu — Wealth Strategist & CDMA Board Member
A candid opening: why our community can no longer afford silence around life insurance, and what changes when a family is prepared.
2
Cultural Dialogue: Assurance Vie vs. Culture Congolaise
Dr. Giselle Kabwe (Dr. G) & Ange Mukadi — From Taboo to Empowerment
A bilingual dialogue on the cultural beliefs that hold our community back, and how to honor tradition while protecting the next generation.
3
Financial Literacy Integration: Budgeting for Life Insurance
Mr. Patrick Dekale — CDMA Financial Literacy Lead
"It's Affordable. Here's How." A practical, step-by-step framework for fitting life insurance into any household budget — even on a tight income.
