About this listen

They’re Spending in the Neighborhood, but Not Working In It.
This weekend, I saw it with my own eyes—Black communities spending hard-earned dollars in fast food restaurants, but not working behind the counter. No jobs, no ownership, no economic circulation.

When money leaves our neighborhoods, so does the TIF funding—that means no garbage cans, no street repairs, no youth programs, and no growth.

We don’t learn about money in our communities. And that’s the real crisis.

So I asked:
If you had to build a program for an underfunded Black neighborhood, what would it look like?

Here’s my answer:
🟩 The National Tenant Union Fellowship House™
A 3–4 month program for 40 youth (ages 18–24) offering:
✔️ Financial Literacy
✔️ Job Readiness
✔️ 6-Week GED Support
✔️ $5,000 Completion Stipend
✔️ Skills + Structure = A Different Future

We are shifting our people from consumers to creators.

💔 And if you're moved to give—we’re raising funds to stop the eviction of a senior cancer survivor who’s lived in her home for 20 years.
No donation is too small. This is what community care looks like:
