Get advice on hitting your financial goals from Black experts

During the Black Wealth Summit conference happening Oct. 27 to 29, at the Hotel at the University of Maryland, participants can get sound advice on how to manage and build their wealth — regardless if you think you’re holding stacks of money or not. Preserving streams of income for your family gives them a leg up in a society where Black people are at an inherent economic disadvantage. During the summit college students will be offered free admission to the virtual sessions.

The summit will be held both in-person and virtually through on-demand talks and virtual networking sessions. It will offer investors specialized “learning tracks” depending on where they are in their wealth-building journey. For those who are not yet investors, there’s a Collegiate track where you will be introduced to budgeting and methods to master basic concepts and practical techniques in saving and investing, tackling student loans, building a good credit score and ideas to supplement your income.

The conference’s keynote will be delivered by Kayhil Byrd, CEO and founder of Shur; and Dr. Aminta Breaux, president of Bowie State University, with featured speakers that include Angela Yee, Iyanla Vanzant and Daymond John. Join them is a prestigious roster of presidents, directors and CEOs from many industries including banking and finance, academia and real estate.
