Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging: Racial Wealth Gap

Financially Naked

On this episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, our host is Rachel Adaline, HR Manager at The Financial Gym, and she is joined by Bevin Morgan, Level 2 Certified Financial Trainer. The Gym has a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging Program. To share more of that internal program with the community, the last episode of each month on the show will be dedicated to a financial topic with a DEIB twist.

Today’s topic is The Racial Wealth Gap. Bevin has a background in economics and has carried that interest through her career. As a Black Woman in America and working with a lot of Black clients at The Gym, understanding the larger systematic layers contributing to the racial wealth gap on a deep level became Bevin’s passion.

This topic is complicated and can be contentious. Today’s episode is a conversation and overview of the racial wealth gap as a starting point to explore further.
