The road to financial wellness requires clarity and understanding with regards to your numbers. However, genuine financial wellness also requires clarity and understanding regarding the role that race has played and continues to play in our society, in terms of access to financial opportunities for Black communities.

This special 8-week version of our popular Managing Cash Flow course will explore how the history of racial and economic inequality impacts our present-day financial experience.

  • The first two weeks of the class provide the foundation for exploring the relationship between race and money in America.
  • The remaining 6-weeks will focus on developing practical money management skills. Participants will learn and begin to implement specific strategies for organizing expenses, balancing multiple sources of income, planning for dry spells, managing debt, saving, investing, aligning professional and financial goals, and more.
