Centered on research by Giselle George-Joseph and guidance from an advisory council including Melissa Bradley, the investment strategy targets structural barriers in education, capital access, and healthcare to boost Black entrepreneurship and community resilience. By leveraging the firm's Urban Investment Group experience, the initiative uniquely integrates support for Black women as mothers, professionals, and homeowners to drive post-pandemic economic recovery.
