Let's talk about financial literacy. Student at King's University London gives a transatlantic exposure to issues facing the African community around financial literacy and together from previous research begins to map out the origins of what has kept the African community bound by poor financial decisions.

Nick Whitestad is a student from the USA at the Fisk University in Nashville Tennessee

Fisk was the first African-American institution to gain accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)), gives his observations and lived experiences of financial barriers which do not allow a black student to stay in education or even attain further education.  Behaviour economics or financial literacy has been a passion of Nicks since he was a kid as he recounts growing up in Memphis Tennessee there not being many resources or opportunities for his peers to succeed in education.  He gives a candid account of being in a school of only 400 hundred pupils where he was No1 to graduation but saw less than 20% move onto high education and stay was very disheartening for him.  This made Nick want to take a look at the community to identify the causes and effects of this problem that was blocking his peers from having the same educational experience as him.  Nick quickly reflected on his own circumstances and realized that it was his families middle-class status he attributed to him being able to pursue education.  Nick shares he had the financial support that alleviated stress and he did not have to worry about where his next meal was coming from or if she could return home and being able to stay at home.  He adds, he was given financial support to come to be able to come to London on study abroad programs to explore life or pay for tutors so that he could get the best test scores!!, just explore the community.

Reflecting on the black community he states that lack of financial knowledge hurts the community so much.  The lack of knowledge creates stress on the family turning into mental issues, how to cope in an emergency and staying together.  Most black families (and the rest of the world since COVID 19 are) living cheque to cheque.  Nick, evidenced this statement through his work summer job in DC where he worked as a scholar director for a programme called the centre for financial advancement.  The program created by founder and president Marcia Griffins of “ Home for USA” 2 years ago.  To increase the knowledge of wealth in the black community. This was because it became apparent because she noticed the extreme decline in black homeowners post-2008 crash, this was aside from all the policy changes which effected the black community years before.  Nick, describes a Marica’s shock while at a bank board meeting to discuss community housing sales was shocked when Hispanics, Asian and minorities were on the target the bank wanted to attract for future sale. When asked what the bank was going to do about black people…..you will have to tune in to hear for yourselves.  To change the stereotypes and myths around black people and ownership Marcia Griffiths went to Fisk University and started the centre for financial advancement and since then the school has educated over 400 students on the Key’s they need to be successful and financial literacy and behaviour economics and the things they need to be wealthy homeowners in the US or around the world and outside ones comfort zone.  Nick states he is doing some research for his honours program around the discussion of finance in the black community, however, he states his entire philosophy is trying to find solutions to break the financial barrier that keeps black people from wanting to go get those extra resources, not have to work at such an early age or if parents can pay bills and just focus on education, creativity and a student and a child Nick believes that black community would produce better ci
