A Financial Future Rooted in Cultural Preservation This event series aims to bridge the gap between cultural preservation and financial education. Participants gain valuable information on how to protect and grow their financial assets while engaging in discussions about the cultural significance of legacy building within the Black community. As Munson Steed, founder of Rolling Out notes, “Building wealth is a beautiful thing. With professional insights and advice, you can protect and create a financial future for your family and your legacy.”

Empowerment through Financial Expertise Events include presentations and discussions about the critical importance of having a financial advisor by your side. “Building the legacy is key,” says Steed. “It’s important to have an advisor who can demonstrate the tools and knowledge provided by experts, enabling you to live your dreams and provide dreams for future generations.”

The tour’s combination of cultural enrichment and financial education ensures that participants leave not only inspired, but also equipped with practical tools to protect their financial future.
