    Entrepreneurship On The Wealth Gap

    For the 3rd year in a row, Atlanta has ranked #1 in income inequality. But that ranking doesn’t tell the whole story. The flight to the suburbs of Atlanta’s middle class has directly contributed to the city’s  income inequality. With rising living costs many middle-class residents found that their money would be better spent outside of the city. WEI believe that entrepreneurship is the glue that can close the gap by creating ecosystems right here in Atlanta that redistribute wealth back into the community.   Joining the conversation with host Monica Delores - Hooks are national trendsetter on racial wealth gap – Latresa McLawhorn Ryan of Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative & Blackbird Strategy Group, 21st Century Activist – Doll Avant of Aquagenuity, & the engine of Black entrepreneurship in Atlanta –  Jay Bailey of the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurship.   Stay connected & follow us on Instagram - @whyatlantapodcast   Why Atlanta is produced by Pixel Recess, pixelrecess.com   Credits: Executive Producer: The Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI) Producer: Tamiea Anderson Productions Producer: Pixel Recess   Resources: https://www.weiatlanta.com/ - Applications Are Open Now! https://www.investatlanta.com/ https://atlinbusiness.com/plan/   Funding: Renew Venture Capital, renewvc.com Purpose Rounds, purposerounds.com
