Black Wealth Friday is an annual event that takes place during The weekend of Black Friday. On Black Friday, it is estimated that people of color spend 1.54 Billion dollars in a single weekend, which represents 17% of the total spending on Black Friday. Our goal, is to have people of color invest a small portion of their normal holiday spending budget instead, so that we collectively turn the largest consumer spending day of the year, into the largest wealth creation day of the year.
JOIN THE MOVEMENTThe median Black family, with just over $3,500, owns just 2 percent of the wealth of the nearly $147,000 the median White family owns, according to the “Racial Wealth Divide” report. This is an opportunity to bring awareness to this reality while doing our part to move the needle forward.
