As part of the Breaking Money Silence® on Diversity and Inclusion series, I interview Akeiva Thomas, CFP®, Wealth Planning Associate with Ballentine Partners and YouTube star. Each week, she publishes fun videos to educate her millennial fans about money and makes these lessons accessible to a diverse audience. Her ultimate goal? Close the black wealth gap and make sure financial literacy is an inclusive endeavor. With almost 8,000 subscribers, she is clearly well on her way to accomplishing her goal. Did you know that one in three 65-year-olds live into their 90’s, but few can afford it? AgeUp provides supplemental income to help fill in the financial gaps that come with a long life.
