Financial Literacy Month and Black Family Wealth Building

I pray that my good and wise ancestors will be able to rest once they see that we do not take lightly the sacrifices that they made in order to leave an inheritance to us. I pray that this and the coming generation will see the value added to their lives, to our community and our legacy by increasing our literacy and investing in our own communities.

Hunnuh chillun, hol pun de famlee and hol pun de land!
