Based on research from Merrill Lynch, wealth is occurring faster in diverse communities (African American, LatinX, LGBTQ+, etc.) than ever before. However, with this increase, diverse communities continue to witness the wealth gap from their counterparts. Building wealth is critical for family mobility and economic security but the portfolio must build beyond money and create wealth from all dimensions.

This session will help break the myths of wealth in communities of different lived experiences while helping us understand current trends and data, review best practices for gaining wealth and break perceptions of wealth regarding people of different lived experiences.
