We're in VERY difficult times.

As we all try to combat the system of oppression that has resulted in the death of George Floyd and many others, racism has taken a definitive role in daily lives.  At urbanwallet, we focus on financial literacy, but we can't sit back and take a passive role.  

While researching content, we came across an amazing Instagram post by Kim Julie Hansen with resources and action steps for enforcing CHANGE.
