I think everyone in venture (especially LPs!) should be reading @BLCKVC’s State of Black Venture report. There has been a lot of progress, but still a lot of work to be done unlocking LP relationships and investing in Black fund managers. Full report: blckvc.org/state-black-ventu…

I don’t get how our country has a bunch of tech Billionaires *AND* 500 children that need 2b reunited with their families. Seems like a deliverable some CRM software, a project mgmt team & $10 million in chump change could get done by Q4 end #DebateTonight #impinv @salesforce

What do you think is NEEDED in #impinv in next year? @franseegull says we need government. Public policy is simply critical given scale of change needed & magnitude of capital / incentives we need to leverage #SOCAPVirtual
Looking forward to learning from @cathyhc, @franseegull, and Monique Aiken of @MissionInvest at this year's #SOCAPVirtual State of the #ImpInv Field panel.

“Over 60% of African American wealth goes to paying student debt.” —@RFS_Vista The Student Freedom Initiative goodblacknews.org/2020/06/24… @goodblacknews #SOCAPVirtual #impinv #socent #econdev
"Unfortunately, because of the income and wealth gap, these kids end up borrowing more and having more to pay back 5, 8, 10 years later, and it's debilitating. Over 60% of African American wealth goes towards servicing student loan debt — which is just appalling."
