The racial wealth gap is one that simply cannot be solved with programmatic approaches to DEI. The long history of discrimination impacts racial minorities, specifically Black Americans at alarming rates that must be addressed at their core. To the allies who need a push into the right direction, or DEI practitioners....I invite you to review the data, then ask yourself if the efforts your organizations are putting their energy towards are addressing the root cause of systemic problems negatively impacting racial minorities in all aspects of life.
The #racialwealthgap has been a roadblock for underrepresented communities for far too long. Leaders like Kezia Williams, CEO of the Black upStart, Marla Bilonick, President and CEO of the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders, and Carlos Mark Vera, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Pay Our Interns, are working to eliminate equity disparities through their respective organizations. These Black and Latino leaders are helping to enhance upward mobility for #business leaders and #entrepreneurs through professional development, business #education and access to vital resources. Dedicated efforts such as these can help underserved communities turn the unattainable into obtainable goals. Read more about their efforts from Forbes. https://bit.ly/43RZ4So
