Well-Cared Money, Well-Constructed Freedom
When we say “well-cared money is well-constructed freedom,” we are really naming a deeper truth. Money left unattended does not just disappear, it erodes into lost opportunity, lost security and in many cases, lost generations of potential.
Studies show that in the UK, Black African households have on average ten times less net wealth than White British households, according to the Runnymede Trust. In the US, Brookings notes the median wealth for white households is $285,000 compared to just $44,890 for Black households.
These numbers are not accidents, they are the consequence of history, policy and habits of care. Yet, every act of financial stewardship, budgeting, investing, protecting, becomes an act of resistance and reconstruction. What this means is that money is not neutral. In communities of colour, every financial decision carries double weight.
