Today, we're confronting a critical issue head-on: Black wealth, specifically focusing on single Black women. We'll be diving into startling statistics that reveal a profound wealth gap. For instance, while single white women aged 36 to 49 have a median wealth of $42,600, single Black women's median wealth is shockingly low – as little as $5. This disparity is not just a number; it's a reality affecting countless lives.Joining us is Oglah Gatamah, an inspiring leader, philanthropist, and the operating principal owner of Keller Williams Legacy Realty in Orlando, Florida. With over two decades of experience spanning across continents, Oglah is not just a successful businesswoman; she's also a single black homeowner and mother of four. Her unique perspective and experience make her the perfect guest to discuss the solutions and strategies for empowering single black women in their financial journey.Wealth is vital, not just as assets minus debts, but as a crucial factor in managing financial emergencies, passing down wealth, and building more wealth through avenues like home ownership and entrepreneurship. However, wealth isn't equally accessible, and for Black women, this gap is starkly evident.Highlighting solutions is key, and this episode focuses on two: homeownership and supporting Black women-owned businesses. These solutions come directly from Black women and aim to provide practical pathways to narrowing the wealth gap.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Oglah on FacebookConnect with Oglah on LinkedInOglah’s Hope Foundation on FacebookYou Can’t Improve Black Women’s Economic Well-Being without Addressing Both Wealth and Income GapsBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA MediaThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Today our conversation is with Bo Menkiti. We had to break it into two different episodes because it was so good!In this episode we learn about Bo’s background–growing up on the “other side of the tracks” in an immigrant neighborhood–he talks about how this shaped his perspective on finding value where others may not have seen it and his educational experiences at Harvard University.Then he takes us back to when he was COO of the nonprofit College Summitt and he had six weeks of mandatory vacation time on his hands. So he decided to buy and resale the six vacant houses next to him in Columbia Heights, DC. Fast forward and he now is CEO of the Menkiti Group, an integrated real estate services company focused on a double bottom line, measuring success in terms of positive social impact and financial returns. Bo is also the CEO and founding partner of Keller Williams Capital Properties, a residential real estate brokerage managed by the Menkiti Group.The Menkiti Group and Keller Williams Capital Properties have been recognized by Inc. magazine as being among the fastest growing private companies in the nation. They have also been named as two of the fastest growing inner city businesses in America by Fortune magazine.As his company grew more and more successful, it invested in eighteen different minority-owned development companies. With the investment from the Menkiti Group, these development companies were able to secure the financing they needed to make deals, catapulting them to success.There are a ton more fascinating life stories and development lessons that we can’t even fit into this description. So take a listen! And don’t forget to stay tuned for Part 2.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyConnect with Bo on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkitiLearn more about the Menkiti Group at menkitigroup.comBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA MediaThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In today’s episode, we’re taking a pivotal step by addressing something absolutely instrumental for our listeners – truly knowing your worth. Sure, we’ve all heard Khaled’s “Know Your Worth,” but today, we’re diving deeper and talking about your actual net worth. In previous episodes, we’ve explored various principles on growing our net worth and how your network influences it. But today, it’s all about going back to the foundational steps of understanding and calculating what your net worth actually is.One of our guiding principles is, “What you measure, you move.” Therefore, it's crucial that at the start of every month, we delve into that net worth tracker, understand what it reveals, and monitor this journey. It's about looking at your net worth, setting goals, gamifying the process, and ultimately, growing it.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyNet Worth TrackerInterested in joining Keller Williams, visit: julialashay.kellerfuture.com/join-keller-williamsLearn more about real estate school at no cost to you: kscore.kw.comConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayProduced by NOVA Media
