This panel focuses on strategies for creating prosperity — and keeping it — in the face of historical attempts to seize Black wealth and ongoing systemic inequities. Panelists will discuss the importance of wealth building\, financial best practices for getting started\, and actionable steps to help prepare future generations. \nThe Entrepreneur’s Journey from Hustle to Power \nWith shrinking DEI budgets and the reversal of affirmative action\, many Black workers are considering whether entrepreneurship is a valid pathway to independence and economic empowerment. From the first steps of starting a business to navigating systemic challenges like limited funding for Black business owners\, our panelists will discuss how Black entrepreneurs can lean on innovation as part of the fight for economic justice. \n \nCommunity resources\nGovernment\, nonprofits\, and faith organizations will be on hand to interact with the public and share vital information.
