39. The New "Black Wall Street"

This week's episode is Blackety, Black, Black. We have guest, Ashley Scott, co-founder of the Freedom Georgia Initiative, which we have dubbed the new Black Wall Street. Ashley is a Realtor based out of Lithonia, GA. She is a graduate of Bennett College for Women with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She also has a background in marketing with over 10 years experience helping businesses and brands get in front of their target audience.  Most recently, Ashley was in the news for co-founding the Freedom Georgia Initiative with her friend and investor Renee Walters. The initiative is a group of 19 Black Families who collectively purchased 96.71 acres of rural land in central Georgia. Motivated for change after the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, Ashley was inspired to have a community free of oppression. They call the community Freedom, Georgia. All Black everything. This is a good one guys, we hope you enjoy!
