I've been asked, how does one honor Black History Month? There're several ways, but the simplest way to observe this month is by educating yourself on Black History. This can be general black history, or something specific in your community. You can learn about black music history, read books written by black authors. You can watch films or videos by Black creators, support Black-owned businesses or support influential, Black-led nonprofits.Check out these 25 interesting Black History Month Facts you may not know, like the historian Carter G. Woodson, the creator of what we presently know as Black History Month.

    Blessed to have another amazing year. As 2023 comes to an end, I'd like to highlight one more amazing event we put together in the fall. Albany Smart Connect, was an event hosted by myself, Aaron Miller and Victor Huang to bring together a group of likeminded professionals who are interested in Real Estate Development, Wealth Management and Estate/Legacy Planning. I had the privilege of sharing some of my knowledge on Estate Planning and Wealth Management. In addition, I was able to meet so many amazing people during the networking part of the event.Thanks again to my cohost who did an amazing job putting this event together, and I look forward to future events like these. #realestatedevelopment #wealthmanagement #estateplanning #legacy

    I'd like to give a special shout-out to Joshua Abaki for setting up a great lunch and learn session with the black lawyers at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG).As I've mentioned before, most of our parents did not teach us about money, nor did the educational system. Once we become adults, we’re left to figure things out on our own. The lack of financial literacy disproportionally impacts the black community, and I’ve made it one of my missions during my 14 years with RBC to share my knowledge and educate.Thank you, Joshua, for your leadership and I look forward to future sessions in the new year. #financialliteracy #wealthmanagement #lawyers

    From the #currentaccount John StackhouseCanadians could soon face a mortgage shock, the country’s housing agency warned. Around 2.2 million, or 45% of all outstanding mortgages, will see higher interest rates in the next two years, according to aCanada Mortgage and Housing Corp. analyst. Latest CMHC data shows more than 290,000 Canadians renewed their mortgages with a chartered bank in the first half of 2023 at “significantly higher” interest rates, leading to financial strain. However, the risk of mortgage defaults remains low, provided labour markets hold up, CMHC said. If you haven't already and have a mortgage coming up in the near future please speak to your advisor. Feel free to DM if you have any questions. #housingmarket #interestrates #mortgages #wealthmanagement

    Had a very busy #october, and one of the events I'm very proud of being a part of was a financial literacy seminar at Black at Blakes. As I've mentioned before in the past, most of our parents did not teach us about money, nor did the educational system. Once we become adults, we’re left to figure things out on our own. The lack of financial literacy disproportionally impacts the black community, and I’ve made it one of my missions during my 14 years with RBC to share my knowledge and educate. Thank you to Chiedza Museredza for organizing such an amazing event.#financialliteracy #wealthmanagement #blackwealth
