Did you know 70% of GDP is consumer spending—and 40% of that comes from diverse markets, including women? The truth is, when we empower the bottom of the economic pyramid, we grow the economy for everyone.

📊 70% of Americans—across ALL income levels—live paycheck to paycheck.
 💰 Half of those making $100K+ struggle financially.
 🏡 Even a third of those earning $250K+ are barely getting by.

Rising costs, inflation, and tariffs will only make things harder. Financial literacy isn’t optional—it’s a civil rights issue of our time. We need it taught K-12, through college, and beyond.

🚀 The solution? Equip people with financial knowledge, turn earners into owners, and add 2-3% to GDP. We can’t just cut costs—we need to grow out of this.

That’s why on April 4th in Memphis, we’re bringing together a broad coalition of leaders—Republicans & Democrats, Black & white, rich & poor—to drive real economic change. And later this month, Green Socks Day reminds us that the one thing we all agree on is the color of money. 💚

Big thanks to SquawkBox for having me on today! Let’s build a future of financial empowerment.
