Everybody can use some help with managing their finances. Unfortunately, finance is not often taught in school, so many young adults graduate without knowing how to do things like purchase a house, manage debt or invest in the stock market. A report revealed that Black and African American college graduates owe $25,000 more in student loan debt than their White counterparts, which makes this kind of information even more critical.

Fortunately, the Black community is making strides to educate younger generations on money management and wealth building strategies through various initiatives. One major event coming soon is the Earn Your Leisure’s Invest Fest 2022.
