What Does the Black Community Need?

In 1865, 20 Black leaders met with General William T. Sherman and answered this question with one word: Land.

At the time, Black Americans couldn’t own land. Enslaved people had been free labor for 246 years, driving a $3 billion industry—valued at $83 billion today (2018.)

To address this, Special Order No. 15 promised ”40 acres and a mule” - 400,000 acres set aside as reparations.

But they never got their land.

President Andrew Johnson overturned the decision, returning the land to former enslavers. Meanwhile, 2/3 of American wealth is built through home equity - wealth that Black Americans were denied.

This is why the racial wealth gap persists today.

We know:
⏳ Generational wealth builds over time.
📈 Property appreciates over time.
🏡 Equity grows over time.

We can’t change history, but we can create equal opportunities for real estate investment and ownership.

Next, I’ll break down the “wealth gap” - why it exists and how we can close it.

Why Is Black History Month in February?

At first, I thought it was ironic that the shortest month of the year was dedicated to Black History—until I dug deeper…

Too often, we question why things aren’t the way they “should” be instead of understanding why they are. The truth? February was chosen with intention.

It all started in 1915 with Carter G. Woodson, a historian and Harvard graduate who was determined to preserve and promote Black history. He launched “Negro History Week,” which later became Black History Month. But why February?

1️⃣ It aligned with the already established Negro History Week, building on tradition.
2️⃣ It honored Frederick Douglass & Abraham Lincoln—both born in February—who played key roles in the fight against slavery.

But Woodson was clear: Black history isn’t just about a few leaders. It’s about the countless Black men and women who shaped civilization, fought for freedom, and built a legacy that still impacts us today.

So now you know—February wasn’t an afterthought. It was a deliberate choice to honor history, tradition, and progress.

And because I can’t help but bring it back to real estate… Tomorrow, we’re talking land ownership” a crucial piece of Black history and generational wealth. Stay tuned!

In the past, I have done various posts to help educate about the history of Black Americans living in a world that didn’t welcome them with open arms.

It’s been a heavy topic of discussion, which is why this year I am doing something different. I’ve decided to pursue the entire month of February to the teachings of Black History.

Here are my rules for engaging.

1. The posts will not be meant to divide. They will be factually based and topics of choice based on my experiences. They are unique. As a Black creole woman from Louisiana with most of my life lived in a culturally diverse country like Canada, I’ve seen a lot.

2. The posts will be meant to engage in conversation and be open and honest.

3. The comments section will be a safe place to ask questions and share your experiences without hate, discrimination nor criticism.

If I see ANY comments reflecting any derogatory nature or attacks on anyone, Black, White, Purple or Green, I will handle them accordingly.

Given the nature of the executive orders recently signed and decisions by some companies to eliminate programs that were historically meant to support minorities, I can’t stay silent but I will also factually speak with intent.

Buckle up and be ready to learn some new things, ask questions and be open minded to learning the true nature of what it looks like to be in America.

We start tomorrow.

Changing your mindset will change your life.

“You can’t change your outcome without first changing your mindset.”
– Jaspreet Singh

Here’s a hard truth:

Did you know that 37% of Americans would be unable to cover a $400 emergency expense? This is up 5% from 32% in 2021 and back to pre pandemic levels.

But here’s where many go wrong—thinking they can *save* their way to wealth.

The reality? We can’t.
Building real financial stability and success requires more than just pinching pennies.
It starts with something deeper: a mindset shift.

As we kick off the week, here are 3 practical ways to improve your financial positioning by changing how you think and act:

1️⃣ Read books on business and personal development.

When you grow your knowledge, you naturally take more action. Books can unlock new ideas, strategies, and inspiration to push you forward.

2️⃣ Learn a new skill

Take a class, learn something new, and expand your horizons. A new skill might spark a side hustle—and that extra income could become the seed for your investments.

3️⃣ Get a mentor or invest in personal growth

Why learn everything the hard way when you can leverage someone else’s experience? A mentor can help you avoid costly mistakes and reveal strategies that fast-track your success.

When you focus on growth and reframe your mindset, you’ll feel more confident tackling the challenges ahead—and start building the financial foundation you deserve.

It all starts with you. Let’s make it happen.

Happy Monday—time to get after it! 💕

Ps. I had the pleasure of meeting last month. Absolutely LOVE his content!

The results are in!

And guess what?

I’m still going to save.
I’m still going to invest.
I’m still going to abide by the law.
I’m still going to save on my taxes legally.

Life will continue on regardless of who was chosen in last nights election.

Remember a few things as we embark on another day of the week.

Not all things have to be political.

Be kind.
Be polite.
Be considerate.

You can’t afford it.

The reality is, you can’t afford everything.
Or can you?

I read an article recently on what it means to live in poverty and what you couldn’t possibly understand unless you’ve lived a life without.

Here’s a crazy stat:

36% of Americans making $200K live paycheck to paycheck and 48% making $100K are in the same boat.

They can afford the field trips but maybe not college.
They can afford the co pay but not the medical bill.
They can afford the birthday present but maybe not the party.

But don’t you want it all?

Most folks miss the step of planning ahead.

Instead, they spend, spend, spend and then have nothing to show for it at the end of the day.

Plan so that you can have it all.

Invest. 💕

What’s something you have forgone to be financially free sooner?
