The Stock Market and Closing the Wealth Gap with Dr. Boyce Watkins
03/23/22 • 13 min
Today, we talk with host Dr. Boyce Watkins about the stock market.
Investing in the stock market is one of the key strategies to build wealth in America. But so few Black households are participating. While the wealth gap is rooted in economic racism, the less we invest, the more it widens. On this episode, we talk about what it is, easy tips on how to begin investing, and the importance of stocks for the Black community.

Even so, not all debt is to be feared. Today on Building Black Dollars, we talk about good debt vs. bad debt, how to approach the money you owe, and the questions you must ask before taking on debt.
