Dismantling Barriers to Black Generational Wealth

The truth is everything in America isn’t always equal, especially when we’re talking about building and passing down generational wealth. The most important lesson that our guest Portia Wood, a generational wealth planning attorney at the Wood Legal Group, LLP shares are that you must get educated to protect yourself and your family and learn how to build generational wealth for future generations. That is one of the most powerful tools you have in your money tool belt. Portia is passionate about teaching everyone about estate planning, especially black and brown communities. Portia shares how you can fight back and work to build true generational wealth, the three legal documents everyone needs, and how something as simple as a house can be one of your best generational wealth-building assets. I hope you’re as fired up after this episode as I am. It’s time we start creating sustainable change for you, me, and everyone listening - we all deserve generational wealth. Let’s get talkin’.
