Change the Narrative
As of 2024, California ranks among the least financially literate states, receiving a 'D' grade in financial literacy education, with only 27% of California high school students attending schools that offer personal finance classes.
​​
BSN fills this gap by providing culturally responsive financial literacy education and essential financial skills often missing in traditional school curricula.
​
Build Generational Wealth
Pervasive income inequality has restricted pathways to financial stability, homeownership, and wealth building for communities of color..
Our tailored financial literacy resources drive economic mobility, creating lasting opportunities for individuals historically excluded from generational wealth in Oakland.
Grow Ancestral Roots
Our stories have long been absent from U.S. textbooks, and today, rising attacks on public education and deliberate efforts to erase Black history threaten our cultural legacy.
​
BSN strengthens the community by grounding financial literacy through the transformative power of storytelling, turning money management into a journey of cultural pride.
