Black Moms Connection launched FinLit U in 2020. It is an 8-week financial literacy masterclass designed for Black mothers and is led by Black financial professionals. The program leaders consult with consumers and financial professionals from the Black community to ensure a highly tailored approach that aims to improve confidence and rates of inclusion in the financial system. They use qualitative and quantitative feedback to assess consumers’ access and use of financial products and services, as well as to get a sense of the kinds of negative experiences that Black consumers may face.
