Reading Time: < 1 minute

PHILADELPHIA – In honor of Black History Month, the Mayor’s Office of Black Male Engagement (OBME) and the Mayor’s Commission on African American Males (MCAAM) are hosting their third Annual Black Generational Wealth (BGW) series for the bi-monthly My Brother’s Keeper Action Academy, a national program established by President Obama to dismantle systems of inequality and close opportunity gaps for boys and young men of color. 

“Now more than ever, our residents need support in finding access to economic opportunity, and in many cases, recovering from the pandemic. The City of Philadelphia is proud to sponsor a program that is both timely and relevant, but also uses a racial justice and equity framework to advance our community, holding Black men and boys at the center of this particular effort,” said Romana Lee-Akiyama, newly appointed Director of the Mayor’s Office of Public Engagement. 

This series is structured into weekly financial empowerment events held every Thursday throughout February 2022 to empower Black men and their allies with the tools and resources necessary to obtain and maintain generational wealth. The BGW series will hold four different workshops covering topics like financial literacy, accessing City resources and initiatives, entrepreneurship, and transferring wealth. These seminars will feature local business leaders, financial experts, and City officials with a wealth of experience and insight.
