Origin StoryMy mother always says "Find a need, fill a need." And that's what Nate and I did. We saw that our people were in need of a platform to create, share, and grow. Growth is what is important in life. But what's even more important is the direction that we grow in. Although we have seemingly come so far, black wealth has not. According to a report conducted by the Institute for Policy Studies, by 2053 the average black household net worth will be equal to $0. Some might ask "How sway? I see black wealth everywhere." To those people I say, "No, what you see is black riches. That is not the same as black wealth. It's easy to lose riches, it's hard to lose wealth." Here we aim to provide the fundamentals and tools needed to galvanize black potential so that we may reach our full potential by 2050 and change that narrative. It's 2020, the tools are here. It's up to us to use them.
