Now, Not Later: How Black Youth Can Break Through Boundaries and Generational Cycles on the Path to Financial Freedom
Black Gen Z is paving the way toward financial independence, 60% identify as mostly or fully financially independent – greater than their non-Black peers (45%). More so than any generation before, today’s Black youth are uniquely poised to break generational cycles. Britney feels strongly about inspiring and advocating for Black youth to leverage entrepreneurial skills to enter the marketplace with more than a dream but a strategically curated set of skills. By sharing invaluable lessons from working with over 1000 young people, Britney helps clarify how they can get their idea into the marketplace with innovation and relevance to attract investors.
The Dynamic Generation: A Guide to Investing in Future Disruptors
Championing a culture of ownership, Black Gen Z are 3x as likely to prioritize starting or growing a business compared to their non-Black Gen Z counterparts (15% vs. 5%). It’s inevitable that the startup ecosystem will be shaped by them. Britney believes the impact that Black youth bring to the marketplace supersedes common criteria investors look for like age and network connections. Britney helps investors and advisors understand how they can attract and lead with this new generation of Black entrepreneurs to create prolific social and economic impact.
Living F.R.E.E: Four Steps to Financial Freedom through Economic Equity in the Black Community
A US Census Bureau survey identified 124,000 Black-owned businesses with more than one worker—which means they constitute only 2% of the nation’s total. Stats like this are not a reflection of desire for ownership, but rather a reflection of social and economic inequities that often undermine paths to success. During this signature talk, Britney introduces her proprietary F.R.E.E. model which rethinks the misaligned vetting and investing priorities often placed on Black entrepreneurs. It challenges us to take worthy risks and think more radically beyond venture capital, to define what equitable investment vehicles exist to empower Black community-based entrepreneurs.
Build Where You Are: How to Sustain your business and your community
Like many others, Britney has navigated the ups and downs of social entrepreneurship. Still, unlike many others, she craved one thing, more authentic candor about what to do when things feel more grind than glamorous. 20% of new businesses fail in the first two years and 45% during the first five—so maybe it’s time we got real about the investment it takes to sustain a business. As an advocate for “both and” versus “either or”, Britney teaches thriving and aspiring founders how to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship by centering community needs and redefining success. No toxic positivity, no hoo-rahs, just real advice from a real social entrepreneur.
