"The wealth-gap data tells us that despite Black people being in the US for over 400 years, the American Dream is still outside of reach for many of us. In 2019, the average wealth for a Black household was $24K in comparison to white households at $189K. This is mostly due to systemic efforts and policies that have and continue to economically disadvantaged Black Americans.

In Episode 21, Dr. Drea challenges listeners to redefine our goals and efforts toward the American Dream.
