Our Story
Fearless Brown Girls® is more than a nonprofit organization; It’s a movement... It’s an unstoppable force of financial champions. Our movement empowers the next generation to break barriers, shatter ceilings, and create brighter financial futures.
At the heart of Fearless Brown Girls® lies a powerful mission: bridging the Racial Wealth Gap through empowerment, financial education, and policy change. In the United States, White households have 10x the wealth of Black households and 7x the wealth of Latinx. The Racial Wealth Gap reflects the impact of inequity across multiple pathways to Wealth - Income, Education, Home Ownership, Business Ownership, Retirement Savings, and Investing. Every day, we experience how these challenges affect our communities.
Why does Fearless Brown Girls® matter? The Racial Wealth Gap isn't merely a national statistic; it is a reality that significantly impacts our local Charlotte community and extends nationwide. By providing access to education, resources, and mentorship in financial literacy, we're breaking down barriers and building bridges to financial independence. We're investing in a future where underserved black and brown girls can thrive personally and financially, in spite of their current circumstances.
Join us on this journey to transform the narrative of financial insecurity in black and brown communities. Fearless Brown Girls® is unlocking the power of Financial Literacy and making a difference… one FEARLESS BROWN GIRL at a time.
