Financial Family Reunion Summit

On Saturday, February 11, 2023, in celebration of Black History Month, Financial Joy School will be hosting the first annual Financial Family Reunion Summit online between the hours of 12:30pm – 4:30pm EST. This free virtual event is open to anyone, both seasoned investors or someone who is interested in investing for the first time. 

About the Summit

The Financial Family Reunion Summit was conceptualized to educate Black and Brown families about their finances, investing, and how to build generational wealth. Sponsored by Trust & Will Estate Planning, the Financial Family Reunion Summit seeks to break the cycle of financial instability within the Black and Brown community. This toxic cycle has been brought about by legislation, discrimination, and systemic racism. The way out of the darkness is to walk in the light, and this financial summit aims at bringing the light of financial education to every Black and Brown family.

Thank you for supporting the Black community, but it’s time to do better. We wish you would rethink sponsorships and partnerships.

We hope you consider sponsoring more black festivals, events, and businesses. We are not a charity case, and our sponsorships should not be diluted or dismissed because we are black-owned or black-focused.

Here is my personal story of trying to get corporate sponsorships. Whenever I inquire about sponsorships with a corporation, three things occur, #1 I am ignored, #2 sent to their non-profit foundation and then rejected, or #3 rejected outright because they are already working on closing the racial wealth gap.

Just because I am a black business working on closing the racial wealth gap does not mean I am a non-profit. For the past few months, the frustration and rejection I have encountered have been “ROUGH.”

Corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars for sponsorship for conferences, seminars, and workshops. But, only a select few benefit from their sponsorships, and black businesses or conferences usually receive lower amounts than our white counterparts.

It is disheartening with companies saying they are dedicated to a more equitable and just world, and their work is limited and not reaching the people it should. Please know some of the initiatives have done a fantastic job, and many more are still creating walls and barriers to wealth for black businesses.

With that said, Trust & Will saw our vision and the benefit of partnering up and becoming a Financial Joy School sponsor. We are so thankful for the leadership and amazing work they do. So, not all corporations are dragging their foot, but more often than not, I get the door slammed in my face, and I still won’t be defeated.

Empowering my community is too important for me to allow rejection and ego to stop me from winning.

Whether I get corporate support or not, I will continue to push forward and close the racial wealth gap with a smile. Financial Joy School will transform the financial lives of black youth and families through long-term investing.

Not because it is easy, because it is worth it.

Founder & CEO of Financial Joy School

Our first official sponsor is here, and we are so thankful for Trust & Will (@TrustandWill) for their support. Financial Joy School virtual seminars officially begin September 18th, 2021, and it’s FREE because of the support from Trust & Will. They believe in our vision to close the racial wealth gap and have fun doing it. 

Back in 2020, we began with an idea of what a world would look like if everyone had the opportunity to build generational wealth. Instead of dreaming, we decided to create that world with Financial Joy School. In less than 3 months, we went from idea to action. 

The upcoming seminars will have financial experts educating and inspiring participants on building and protecting generational wealth using several assets, including the stock market. The September edition will be presented by Ollen Douglas, the Managing Director of Motley Fool Ventures, talking on “What is In Investing?”. In October, Kerri Carden, founder of EQUIP (How to Invest?), while Cody Barbo, the founder, and CEO of Trust & Will, talks about Wills in the November seminar.
