ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

The 100 BMLV considers economic empowerment as a necessary step toward creating a just society, not only here in Las Vegas, Nevada, but for black people around the world.

The 100 defines economic empowerment as the ability to be self-determined in creating dreams, pursuing them and ultimately perpetuating them by establishing the mechanisms to sustain generational wealth.

Our programmatic initiatives promote generational economic self-sufficiency through financial literacy, family wealth building and entrepreneurship.
