About Us

Melanin Money was a platform designed to create a space curated exclusively to serve Aspiring 1st Generation Melanin Millionaires. When looking at the disparities in the wealth gap for people of color, we knew we needed to create a trusted community and platform, uniquely serving the needs of those who need the education, support and resources the most.

Led by our Founders, George Acheampong and Carter Cofield, with over a decade of experience in Wealth Management and Tax Strategy, we know that we can help lead our people to being the wealth starters for their families.
