Empowering Youth with Financial Wellness Through Digital Innovation

Nationwide — Junior Wallstreeters, a Black-owned non-profit organization, is proud to announce a special virtual presentation in honor of Financial Literacy Month titled “Introduction to Cryptocurrency: Can Investing in Cryptocurrency and Other Digital Platforms Help Address the Racial Wealth Gap?” The event will take place via Zoom on April 5th, from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM EST, featuring expert speaker Kamal Hubbard, Esq.

Kamal Hubbard is a recognized expert in fraud examination, cybersecurity, and decentralized finance. He currently serves as a civil rights officer and has extensive experience managing research at Stanford University’s Rock Center for Corporate Governance. Hubbard has collaborated closely with a former SEC commissioner on critical issues including federal securities litigation and global corruption. He has also contributed his expertise to the California Senate Banking Committee and engaged with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Speaking about the event, Hubbard commented, “Blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and web3 offer new pathways for economic empowerment for our community. By providing access to services and investment opportunities through decentralized finance that we historically have not had equal access to, we can endeavor to bridge the racial wealth gap and foster greater economic equality.

However, timing is everything, and I am proud to work once again with Junior Wallstreeters to touch the lives of people who have the most potential to harness this technology to uplift those historically left behind.”

“Considering the current political climate, all options should be considered to prevent further widening the racial wealth gap,” added a spokesperson from the Jr. Wallstreeters.

This interactive session aims to educate participants on the potential of cryptocurrency and digital financial platforms to promote economic equity and address systemic barriers to wealth creation. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how cryptocurrency works, practical strategies for investing, and an understanding of the risks and opportunities involved. The discussion will also cover real-

world /examples of how blockchain and cryptocurrency have positively impacted communities historically underserved by traditional financial institutions.
