APRIL IS NATIONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH

April marks National Financial Literacy Month, a time to reflect on our financial empowerment journey and the importance of understanding the systems that impact our money. For Black communities, financial literacy is more than just balancing a checkbook or building credit—it’s about reclaiming control over our economic future. For too long, systemic barriers have kept us from accessing resources that could build generational wealth. But now, with the power of knowledge, we can break these cycles.

Financial literacy is about understanding how to make your money work for you. It’s about knowing how to protect your hard-earned income, grow savings, invest in your future, and pass wealth down to the next generation. This month, let’s take the opportunity to educate ourselves, share knowledge, and build networks that support financial well-being. In doing so, we’re not only enriching our own lives but also strengthening the entire community.

Join the movement—take the first step toward financial empowerment today. At the Association for Black Economic Power (ABEP), we offer resources, workshops, and personalized guidance to help you build the financial skills needed for a prosperous future.
