Empowering Financial Literacy in the Black Community: A Year of Achievements and Growth. See you in 2026

This year has been a defining chapter in my journey as the Founder and CEO of Black Investors Coalition. I dedicated myself fully to advancing financial literacy within the Black community, and the results have been both inspiring and humbling. Writing four books in one year, releasing detailed earnings reports, and building a valuable online platform were not just milestones—they were steps toward a larger dream. My goal is clear: to see every Black household actively discussing and engaging with financial literacy. Here’s a look back at what this year brought and what lies ahead.

Writing Four Books to Share Knowledge

Writing four books in a single year was a challenge that tested my dedication and passion. Each book focused on different aspects of financial literacy tailored specifically for the Black community. Topics ranged from basic budgeting and saving strategies to investing in the stock market and building generational wealth. These books are designed to be accessible, practical, and actionable.

Each book includes real-life examples and step-by-step guides to help readers take control of their finances. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many readers sharing how these resources have changed their approach to money.

Publishing Earnings Reports to Increase Transparency

In 2025, I also released two detailed earnings reports for Black Investors Coalition. These reports provide transparency about our financial health and growth, showing how the coalition reinvests in educational content and community programs. Sharing this information builds trust and encourages more people to join and support our mission.

The reports highlight:

• Revenue sources and allocation

• Growth in membership and website traffic

• Investments made in educational tools and partnerships

  
  

By openly sharing our progress, we invite the community to be part of this journey and hold us accountable to our goals.

Building an Online Platform for Community Engagement

One of the most rewarding achievements this year was growing the Black Investors Coalition into a thriving online platform. Today, over 200 people visit our website daily to access articles, resources, and tools designed to improve financial literacy.

The platform offers:

• Educational articles on topics like credit management, investing, and retirement planning

• Interactive tools such as budgeting calculators and investment trackers

• Community forums where members share experiences and advice

• Live webinars and Q&A sessions with financial experts

  
  

This space has become a hub for learning and support, helping individuals feel confident about their financial decisions.

Personal Growth as Founder and CEO

Taking on the role of Founder and CEO has transformed me. The responsibility of leading this coalition and staying committed to its mission has deepened my understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the Black community. It has also strengthened my resolve to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.

This year taught me:

• The importance of consistency and focus

• How to balance content creation with leadership duties

• The value of listening to community feedback and adapting accordingly

  
  

Being at the helm of this movement has been both demanding and fulfilling. I am grateful for the support from our members and partners who share this vision.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we close out 2025, my commitment remains unwavering. The progress we’ve made is just the beginning. Next year, I plan to expand our educational offerings, increase outreach efforts, and develop new tools to make financial literacy even more accessible.

Here’s what to expect in 2026:

• New book releases covering advanced investing and entrepreneurship

• Enhanced online platform features for personalized learning

• More community events and partnerships with financial institutions

• Continued transparency through regular reports and updates

  
  

My hope is that by continuing this work, we will see a future where financial literacy is a common topic in every Black household.

This year has been a powerful reminder that dedication and focus can move mountains. The Black Investors Coalition is more than an organization—it’s a movement toward financial empowerment and lasting change. I encourage everyone reading this to take one step today toward understanding their finances better. Whether it’s reading an article, joining our platform, or starting a conversation at home, every action counts.
