Our next Trailblazer in Black American Homeownership is Ernesta Procope. A Brooklyn insurance broker, Procope saw countless Black families get turned away from insurance companies. So, she opened her own brokerage dedicated to helping Black Americans secure home insurance. Procope’s firm eventually became known as the largest Black-owned and woman-owned insurance broker in the U.S., handling accounts for clients like Pepsico, General Motors, IBM, Kraft, and the New York City Housing Authority.
