Wall Street has a diversity problem and it needs to start looking beyond Wall Street for a solution. On this episode of Social Currency, we’re joined by Bevon Joseph, founder of The Greenwood Project, to discuss the issues facing diversity on Wall Street and the ways he’s working to make much needed change. 

Bevon has been instrumental in connecting minority students with a network of Wall Street firms through The Greenwood Project. From its inception in 2016, the Greenwood Project has placed more than 300 students in roles at over 35  companies, and it’s just getting started. Bevon talks to us about Greenwood’s history, its growth initiatives, and what’s next in his mission to disrupt the hiring practices of the financial industry.

We also get to meet four amazingly talented Greenwood Project Scholars and get their perspectives  as we discuss the impact the program is having on the financial services industry and the life-changing opportunities it provides.
