When feeling overwhelmed, remember you asked for abundance.
You asked for your territory to enlarge.
Now say thank you and make sure you're focused on the resources and tools to sow, reap and harvest.
There's an organization called Baltimore Young Professionals comprised of mostly Black men & women in the city...here's what their happy hour at Pendry looked like last week.
We're in
@Essence
for their spread on "Millionaires Next Door" highlighting Black Power Couples in business โค๐ฅ
Make sure you grab a copy & tag us!
Can we have a honest conversation on how to teach people how to become millionaires and billionaires without them having to create a course? I feel like there has to be more models to build by. What models have you seen work?
Some of these takes on dating & marriage is why women choose to focus on herself, run up a bag while drinking mimosas and prepping to be the best Rich Auntie possible until she's persuaded to prioritize otherwise.
Wells Fargo buying delinquent mortgages rather than selling them tells me that they see folks checkings & savings going up regardless of these delinquency rates aka recovery pending (especially with more fed $$$ and stimulus)
But what do I know
Investing with no money, little money or other peopleโs money are the ONLY options for those of us without huge saving accounts and trust funds. Thatโs what weโre sharing in our next Build An Empire Webinar.
Use the link in our bio and letโs get to it.
Yung Miami sat on her own podcast, hosted by Diddys network, interviewed Diddy for the first episode, had him share all his damn business and told the man that they go together.
Can I be married & a city girl bc the girls are UP, up ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐๐
My 10yr old woke up and decided to write a business plan to launch a leaf raking business....
Plan includes a budget to reinvest, save, hire, & pay herself.
Could you imagine if we were taught about all the Black entrepreneurs, doctors, government officials, etc since the 1800s (or more) as much or more than the "power" of the Klan?
Baltimore plans to sell 15,000 boarded-up houses for $1 each in an attempt to revive neighborhoods that have been plagued by crime and disrepair. To sweeten the deal, generous grants of $50,000 are on the table to assist with renovations.
There's a whole renaissance happening right before our eyes - financial literacy, real estate, trucks, stocks, even mobile homes.
Don't let what's happening outside impact the shifts that have BEEN happening within
Let me say this one thing.
I've been with my husband since I was 19 yrs old. Over 15yrs we build a business, a life, a brand. Had a child. Been married for a decade.
If you only knew the sacrifice, devotion, love, and heartache poured into the cute couple on Instagram.
It's official! 50 new construction townhomes (60+ units) are coming to East Baltimore.
We're so excited to officially announce this project and can't wait to bring it to fruition.
If you hate your job and your boss and your coworkers....there are a ton of other jobs that you could have. Or hire yourself. Get creative. We don't need to suffer and beg to be disrespected

I'd check the lease to make sure it has a paragraph talking about typo errors & corrections...
Depending on the state, they may not get that leeway automatically
Let's talk about it. Nonnegotiables for black families to close the wealth gap:
โข Life insurance
โข Business ownership
โข Real estate
โข Wills & Financial Planning
The thing is...I'm 31 with a husband and 6yo child. I sacrificed my 20s for what we've built and will continue to make sacrifices. But y'all will still try to invalidate bc I had a husband.
Spend less time hating and more time grinding.
I never hear ppl discuss publicly the marriage renegotiating period as each individual changes & shifts the dynamics of the marriage..
Roles & expectations change, outlooks change, needs change AND both ppl have to agree to shift & compromise through it all
We had a buyer once that took SIX MONTHS to close bc his main source of income was Uber & some other FTHB stuff. You think any other "flipper" would have coached the buyers agent, lender & title company on how to make that man a homeowner?!?!
We're HIRING!! The Charm City Buyers impact is growing and so is our team.

Baltimoreโs high car insurance rates are no secret. MD law allows insurance companies to use non-driving factors when underwriting insurance premiums - like education, zip code, and credit. This makes mandated auto insurance unreachable for many.
Idk know who needs to hear this but some of the houses yall want to buy for $1, I wouldn't buy without being paid $50,000 (or more) to do so.
Please don't think a cheap deal always makes a good deal....
A lot of people are going to find out when their loan is denied ๐
Just in case you thought I've been quiet...
- 33 houses under PSA or LOI
- land for 54 new construction homes under PSA
- Construction co is thriving with residential & new construction projects underway
- NEXTGen 2023 Baltimore Real Estate Investments: $5M+
Talking about looting a few bags, shoes and lamps from Target...
What about the acres upon acres of land Black ppl OWNED in the 1800s & 1900s that was stolen? Centuries of bondage? All the businesses and towns burned to the ground??
We're coming for it all. Enough is enough.
Actual footage of what some of yall would rather see in our neighborhoods than the Black FTHB who now lives here bc of my exploitation when I could have just kept it as a rental & made real $$ long term
Black capitalism isn't the problem. The lack of capital for Black businesses, ideas and communities is.
Don't get distracted. There's more work to do.๐ฏ
I have the right to comment on the Baltimore market bc I PERSONALLY influenced over $30M worth of investment in the city in the last few years and those houses are now owner occupied or developed.
I want the city to win & that means tackling solutions not just pointing fingers.
Was in line at the movies to watch Aladdin again...a single mom of 3 boys got stuck in line with card getting declined. The boys all lined up with their popcorn.
Had to slide her some money before she had the kids give popcorn back
Attn Wholesalers:
We don't need your deals to have the perfect flyer or their own landing page.
The deal needs to have solid, justified numbers. That's it.
The fluff is a distraction from doing the work.
Everyone has their role and everyone can't play the same position.
We need the activists, youth groups/camps, street campaigners, politicians, developers, landlords, fiscal sponsors, lawyers, doctors, "Black capitalists"....we need ALL that.
To retain our residents, we need to improve transportation, attract more businesses ($15 minimum wage coming soon), continue to invest in lowering vacancy and invest in our youth, schools & education.
I truly believe crime is a symptom of a lack of jobs, education & options.
I should be the Keith Lee of real estate in Baltimore and walk through properties for rent or sale to share my thoughts on quality, construction, price & location
This past Saturday more than 200 people came out to get an update on the West North Avenue Development Authority Comprehensive Plan. Despite a setback this session in the HOD

There's nothing like spending years talking yourself into the ability to do something...
Then you work your way into the room...
Just to realize the other ppl around the table are mediocre AF
Lemme learn yall something:
If I wasn't married...I'd still be out here doing boss ish (as I was premarriage)
My husband (as a GOAT himself) compliments my hustle & together we're able to move mountains.
But he doesn't make me like I dont make him
My oldest living relative passed this morning only a few weeks after my 2nd oldest living relative passed away.
Part of me feels like pieces of my childhood are being taken away.
The other parts of me are grateful to have lived a small part of their 94 and 92 yrs, respectively
