The Jali Ep 172: Pass the Power! Build & Transfer Wealth

Welcome to the Jolly Podcast. I'm your host, Melissa Barrett, and this is episode 171 Past the Power. Did you know that the median wealth of a single black woman is just $100, while white men own a median of over 28,000 in wealth individually? Or that the racial wealth gap between black and white families hasn't budged in more than 30 years? We're talking about generations of missed opportunities not because we don't work hard, but because access, education and estate planning have often been withheld from our communities. That's why this episode is so important. We are sharing a special replay of a live webinar hosted by the Tracy Area Alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, where I serve on the Economic Development Committee. This webinar featured a powerhouse attorney, Charlene Usher, who is the Managing partner of Ulg Law APC, and Charlene breaks down why estate planning isn't just for the wealthy. How living trusts can protect your legacy and what steps you can take right now to build intergenerational wealth
