In this episode Dante and Donna discuss:

• Building generational wealth through real estate investment and education
• Importance of early exposure to real estate for informed decision-making
• Expanding "Who Got the Keys?" with summits, camps, and licensing classes
• Staying authentic and educated in real estate pursuits
• Encouraging purposeful conversations about goals and real estate

Key Takeaways: 

• Real estate investing is a powerful pathway for building generational wealth, especially when approached wisely through research, networking, and education.
• Introducing young adults to real estate and homeownership early on empowers them to make informed choices and develop wealth-building skills.
• The "Who Got the Keys?" program educates and inspires youth about real estate investing through workbooks, summits, online camps, and realtor licensing classes.
• Donna embodies the value of authenticity and purposeful action in real estate, dedicating herself to writing bestselling books during the pandemic through an early morning routine.
• Inspired by her parents’ experiences in real estate, Donna is driven to educate others about using real estate to boost Black homeownership and generational wealth.

“Exposure makes a difference. You have no idea what your possibilities are unless you see it. For me, it's important to expose as many young people as possible to change the narrative before credit is messed up, before you have all this debt. Later in life, you don’t have to go back and fix these things because you didn’t get exposure. You can make well-informed decisions from the start as a young person, as a teenager going into adulthood with a game plan in mind—a game-changing plan that will put you on the path to building generational wealth through real estate.”
