Black History Month is a time to honor progress—and to commit to the work still ahead.
On this week’s The Monday Brief, we’re joined by Brandy Mickens, Executive Vice President at Equitable Advisors and a member of the Finseca Board.
Brandy shares a powerful personal reflection on what it means for her 92-year-old grandmother to witness her granddaughter leading in an industry that once excluded women like her. She also challenges us to confront a critical reality: most Americans still lack a financial advisor or written plan. Expanding access starts with expanding representation—so more families can see that financial advice is meant for them.
Black History Month reminds us how far we’ve come—and calls each of us to help build a more inclusive and financially secure future.
