Ross Mac

Reverend Dr. Charlie Dates, a prominent pastor in Chicago, and Ross Mac, an Ivy League entrepreneur and financial educator, dive into the urgent issue of Black wealth, projected to hit zero by 2053. They discuss the historical mistrust of banks stemming from the Freedman’s Bank collapse and how generational trauma plays a role in financial stability. The duo emphasizes the transformative power of the Black church in promoting financial literacy and stewardship as a spiritual discipline, aiming to empower communities and shift narratives around wealth.
