This Black History Month, we’re sharing a conversation that feels both personal and necessary.Mical Jeanlys-White sat down with friend and WealthMore member Leslie Lewis — founder of MultiGenerational and daughter of Reginald F. Lewis, the first Black billionaire and author of Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun?Leslie and Mical have had many conversations about wealth and legacy — but this one goes deeper.They discuss her father’s groundbreaking achievements and what ownership truly meant to him.But they also explore something that isn’t discussed nearly enough — and something Leslie is passionate about bringing to light:Financial trauma.Because building wealth — especially in our community and for many first-generation wealth creators — often comes with pressure, responsibility, and emotional weight.Today:💡 The median Black household holds a fraction of the wealth of the median White household.💡 Fewer than 40% of Black households participate in the stock market.💡 Only a small percentage work with professional financial advisors.Black History Month is about celebrating the accomplishments of our ancestors and the progress we've made. It’s also about acknowledging the work that still needs to be done — and offering real solutions toward the future we want for our community.Investors with wealth advisors do better.
