It All Adds Up

It All Adds Up is the digestible guide to outsmarting the limitations of tradition and blazing your own trail to freedom. Devon Kennard grants access to his master plan for financial freedom to encourage the Black community to build wealth for today and future generations.

The median and mean wealth of Black families is a whopping 15% less than that of white families, and the participation of Black Americans in the stock market is the lowest it's been in 20 years. More troubling, during the pandemic, we saw unemployment rates of nearly 11% among Black Americans compared to 6% among white people, indicating a widening of the racial wealth gap. However, among Americans under 40, Black Americans are tracking along with their white counterparts. With the right tools, Gen Z has the power to continue this trend.
