We're planning a community series: Money, Health, & Politics, hosted in local barbershops, where we’ll talk financial literacy, entrepreneurship, & economic empowerment.

Small businesses create 2 out of 3 new jobs, but too many entrepreneurs are held back by limited capital, fewer loans, & lack of partnerships.

Imagine if we closed that gap!

✅Shop with purpose
✅Bank with intention
✅Support inclusive businesses

Build a future where everyone has a fair shot!
This is your reminder to shop with intention!

Choose businesses owned by underrepresented & marginalized entrepreneurs who are creating opportunity & real change where it's needed most.

Where you spend matters!

Inequality doesn’t just hurt a few, it costs us all!

When communities don’t have equal access to jobs, capital, and opportunity, our economy suffers.

Racial inequality has cost the U.S. $16 trillion over the last 20 years.

If inequality is this expensive, why are we still paying for it?

Solidarity is both moral & strategic!

When standing alone, it becomes easier to silence dissent. But, broad & unified, it raises the cost of repression & challenges silence!

Locally organized groups of individuals aren’t alone & do have power!

Too hot to be safe, for families & their pets!

AC off. Temp rising! Pets & people at risk!

What's a major housing issue happening right now that no one's talking about?

Shine some light on it in the comments below!

In 2024, only 7% of home sales in NC last year were to investors!

It's clear - rising home prices & high interest rates are even discouraging large investors!

What does this mean for Black & Brown communities?

The system needs to change! We must re-think who gets to own homes & who gets shut out.
It’s simple — when businesses grow, so do communities!

Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It takes intentional investment in equity, opportunity, & inclusion.

New, community-driven initiatives are on the way to ensure no one is left behind!

✨Like, follow, & share to fuel the movement!
From community gatherings to real-life impact, our work is about more than conversation — it’s about creating pathways to economic opportunity.

Support our Economic Mobility pillar & help build a future where everyone has a fair shot.

Don't ignore the power of education!

In 2024, 87% of public high school students graduated within four years—a testament to the hard work of students, educators, families, & communities across our state!

Let’s keep pushing for progress & investing in every learner!

Medicaid is a lifeline for 1.4 million+ children in North Carolina.

Over 60% of nursing homes are covered by Medicaid, 37% of births, and thousands of families caring for children with autism or cerebral palsy rely on this coverage every day.

What would your community lose if Medicaid were cut?
