ULI Colorado - Read, Listen, Watch: Access to Capital
ULI Colorado’s Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) leaders present this “Read, Listen, Watch” Session on the important theme of “Access to Capital!”
“Access to Capital” Options:
- Read: Pulitzer Prize finalist Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
- Listen: “Why Access to Capital and Financial Knowledge are Essentials to Building Wealth” from NPR
- Watch: “Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership” lecture by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor hosted by Social Science Matrix at UC Berkeley
How It Works:
Before the session, either read, listen to, or watch one of the media options (feel free to review all three if you have time!). During the virtual session, a ULI Colorado volunteer will present the theme and pose a few discussion questions to the group. Participants will be divided into breakout groups to discuss the content and theme, with the support of conversation guidelines. This is part of a new series of discussions among ULI Colorado members, meant to explore and expand understanding of key Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) topics.
