The Aequo Fund is an initiative that is focused on providing opportunities and financial support to people who are traditionally underrepresented in real estate development. One of their Developers is Rian Hargrave who is taking a holistic approach to providing Residential Development and Home Ownership to change the narrative of Baltimore City. Rian's career journey started in college where she knew that she was not going to apply her Mass Communication degree to her career. She dabbled in a few jobs in different industries until she finally settled in Real Estate Development. She always understood that home ownership is the best way to increase your net worth in marginalized communities. Her company, Onyx Development, provides housing options for Baltimore residents through student housing, workforce housing, and market rate rentals.
