Have you ever noticed when you want to create a new habit for yourself you wonder how to
begin? Do you begin taking big steps or do you begin with small baby steps? I.e. You have
decided to walk 10,000 steps a day. You are walking 5,000 already. What would be your next
step? Start walking 10,000 steps or each day increase the steps by 10, 15, 50 more steps until
you are walking 10,000 per day. Personally I would increase the steps by 15 a day until I
reached my goal.

It’s the same way with your finances. If financial tracking hasn’t been your thing or you don’t
have a financial spending plan, small baby steps are in order to create a strong financial
foundation. This episode Finding Your Financial Voice Podcast will explain a few small steps
you can incorporate into your daily life without much effort. Get you pen & paper you are gonna
wanna capture every word of this podcast. ENJOY!!!!!!

I am excited to have Bahiyah (pronounced BYE-HE-YAH) Shabazz as a special quest on the Finding Your Financial Voice podcast. Shabazz helps her community invest in their financial future through wealth building. 

I asked Ms. Shabazz to be my guest today because I wanted her to talk about her role in educating individuals in investing. She has expressed how the organization Brown Girls Do Invest educates with webinars giving people choices on trade platforms, how to help their children learn about money and of course the mindset of investments. At no time does she or Brown Girls Do Invest give you financial advice on which investment you should invest in.

 Black-owned banks didn't exist until more than a century after the Bank of North America first opened its doors. Prior to the chartering of the first Black-owned bank in 1888, Congress and President Lincoln established the Freedmen's Savings Bank in 1865. As part of the Freedmen's Bureau, this institution was designed to help newly freed African Americans navigate the U.S. financial system In 1874, after Fredrick Douglas invested $10,000 of his money bankrupt that same year.

In 1888, the first chartered Black Owned bank True Reformers Bank was formed by Rev. William Washington Browne. Between the years of 1888 and 1934 there were 134 Black-Owned banks located in southern states.

In 1988 there were only 35 left because of the savings and loan crisis. Fast forward currently the number of Black-Owned/Led banks are about 20 left. A number of reasons have affected the rise and fall of these banking institutions.

These banks begin with a noble reason in mind-Serve the black community with banking services such as checking/saving accounts, loans, building equity, and the fight to combat systemic racism in the financial world.

This podcast gives a brief overview of those reasons letting all of us know what we can do to save our Black Owned/Led Banks.
