Empowering first-generation wealth builders by enabling them to learn how to utilize money as a resource to live a flourishing life.
Just a friendly reminder - when looking to hire someone from a minority background, they’re not asking for a chance. They’re seeking an equal opportunity to showcase their talent. A chance is a favor/handout; an opportunity is a fair platform to excel.
