Let's Get Real: Addressing Economic and Workplace Inequities

This week I’m speaking with Christian Harris, who is actually my nephew! Christian is the co-owner of MaidPro Oak Park, Director of Operations at D.M. Burton, and Senior Consultant at OVP Management Consulting Group. Christian grew up with a lawyer as a mom and a history teacher as a dad, so it’s no wonder he is such a staunch advocate for social justice. He joins me today to discuss inequities against black and brown communities, and possible solutions to combat them. One such inequity is the wealth gap. A study shows that the average black college graduate will be worth less than the average white high school graduate for a number of factors such as inheritance, financial literacy, and home values. Christian believes black communities need more homeownership as a way to accumulate generational wealth.ResourcesChristian Harris on LinkedIn
