Many financial planners come to the profession deeply connected to communities that have been ignored by "traditional" financial planning practices. During this conversation Saundra Davis, financial coach and educator, will talk about her journey as a career changer and how she "kicked down the door" to serve the Black community AND build a thriving business. Financial planning practitioners are poised to change the way disenfranchised communities view the profession.  We’ll discuss how they can certainly do well while doing good.
