It's crucial people should know how to manage their debts and save money. Both of these phrases are not mutually exclusive. African Americans increasingly play a vital role in the economic establishment of the United States, but in comparison to their white counterparts, they still lag in financial wellness, deficient financial literacy and virtually nonexistent. Intergenerational wealth are two of the main reasons behind these gaps. And this is why we founded Alpha Flite

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love what you're doing with Alpha Flight. As a young person who's just gotten into just finances and trying to figure out the whole world of what to do, investments, et cetera, I think this is an incredible resource. There really isn't much education out there just for the general public, which leaves such a big gap, as you mentioned. Yeah. I just think this is an incredible resource, especially on a video platform as well

We're not looking for movie stars and things like that. We're looking for normal, average people who have made it in this world or not made it in this world and give you an idea of what steps or missteps they have made. One of our interviewees said one thing not too long ago I find to be very interesting, and I always keep in the back of my mind. He said, no mistakes are fatal, especially when you're young

Hi, Ricardo. Thank you so much for this conversation. I think this is really an important topic. I have done work in Equity diversity inclusion, specifically using applied theater. And we talk about this in a workshop called Systemic Racism and actually do exercises around privilege and mainly around buying homes and what was happening with Redlining. So this is really an important conversation. And I'm glad you shared about your company
