The Appraisal Gap – June 2nd at noon
A contributing factor to the racial wealth gap is something called the appraisal gap which stems, in part, from the racist redlining policies that shape our current housing policy and community investment strategies. Join me as I talk with Sen. Antonio Hayes and Bree Jones of Parity Homes as we talk about ways forward to incentivize community investment and tackle the appraisal gap. You can watch on my Facebook page and it will also be posted to Youtube.

Doing Business with the State – June 10th at 5:00 pm
Each year, the state awards billions of dollars in contracts and the process is not always the easiest to navigate.

Start in Maryland, Stay in Maryland – June 17th at noon
Maryland is a net exporter of entrepreneurs which is not where we want to be as a state.

You can watch on my Facebook page and it will also be posted to Youtube.
