It's #FinancialLiteracyMonth, and we're highlighting why financial knowledge is so important, especially in the Black community. The racial wealth gap in the United States has widened over centuries and is a complex issue to address. While effective solutions may require major systemic changes, learning about the origins of the wealth gap and its adverse effects on the Black community can empower individuals to leverage financial literacy in their daily lives. #LUXLife #LUXWealth #LUXWealthPlanning

The partnership between Zions Bank and the Utah Black Chamber of Commerce exemplifies the power of collaboration in driving economic growth and inclusion. Through this strong relationship, the Chamber has effectively connected its members to critical resources, including Zions Bank's Business Resource Center, significantly increasing its utilization. This partnership has yielded remarkable results, with 100% of the Utah Black Chamber members referred to Zions Bank for SBA loans over the past year receiving approval. Zions Bank has been an invaluable ally in supporting the Chamber's mission to create opportunities for Black-owned businesses to thrive. Together, we empower entrepreneurs, foster financial literacy, and strengthen Utah's economic ecosystem, ensuring that diversity is celebrated and prioritized in business growth and community development.

Let's listen to our members, ask tough questions, and commit to meaningful action for the betterment of all. Are you ready to make a difference? Let's do this! 💪 Read more from Danielle H. on CUInsight.com at: https://lnkd.in/gGiZ8xkr #CreditUnions #CommonGood #PeopleHelpingPeople

💸 We know the #racialwealthgap exists, but *why* does it exist, and how did it come to be? 💭 This is the question explored throughout Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation - and in short, we examine how discriminatory housing practices created, and diminished, wealth for white and Black families respectively. 🏠 Our first episode, "The Color Tax", explores the devastating impact #contractsales had on Black wealth-building and racial comity in Chicago, and their role in jumpstarting a #wealthgap that continued to widen as white affluence grew. 💰 These contracts became the only option for Black families to purchase a home after being denied loans from almost all banks. But what they didn't understand was they weren't building any equity with their monthly payments. So while the white middle class was rapidly expanding and benefitting from federal policies that promoted their home equity, Black families were forced to pay premiums for homes that they could lose after missing just a single payment. ➡️ Check out the trailer for episode one, "The Color Tax", below.
