Equality in healthcare is a matter of life and death for Black Americans.

Today's bold and historic move by @BloombergDotOrg to support Black medical schools is a welcome step toward positive change for the Black community.

Can't wait to lead a panel at the @BlkEconAlliance Solutions Summit, diving into strategies to grow Black wealth. Get ready for a powerhouse discussion @MayorBibb, @MayorSPH & WH Advisor @SteveBenjaminSC!

[Garnesha Ezediaro @_garnesha]

Great to chat about the work we're doing at @BloombergDotOrg's Greenwood Initiative, especially with one of my hometown papers. Thanks to @moreehunter for meeting at #AAMA10 to discuss how we're supporting mayors on their racial wealth agendas. https://t.co/5qhRhJazIP

Big congrats to @OurMayors CEO, Phyllis Dickerson & the team for a stellar #AAMA 🎉 Looking forward to valuable insights, connections, & discussions. Here's to a successful remainder of the conference! 🙌🏾

[Garnesha Ezediaro @_garnesha]

Thank you for highlighting my perspective! It's crucial to embrace authenticity and maintain our voices, especially in leadership settings. Your recognition is appreciated!

[All In Together @AllInTogether]

@_garnesha shared what showing up as yourself means as a Black woman and not minimizing your voice even in front of leadership.

“I also have to go back to myself at the end of the day and say “I did not miss the moment because I said the thing”

[Garnesha Ezediaro @_garnesha]

Proud that the Greenwood Initiative can work alongside @Bloombergdotorg and @CFEFund to fuel the third #CityStart cohort! Together, we're dedicated to empowering communities towards financial stability through the lens of racial wealth equity. I can’t wait to get to work.

[Garnesha Ezediaro @_garnesha]

For 25 cities, Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities will:
✅ Drive needed action to address the climate crisis & advance racial wealth equity
✅ Connect federal funding to local solutions
✅ Deliver deep support for transformative climate solutions in underserved communities

[Bloomberg Philanthropies @BloombergDotOrg]

U.S. cities have been at the forefront of confronting the climate crisis to reduce emissions and improve lives – especially for disadvantaged communities that disproportionately experience the impacts of climate change.

Launched today, Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities will support and empower 25 U.S. cities in turbocharging their efforts to proactively pursue climate solutions that will build low-carbon, resilient, and economically thriving urban communities: https://t.co/z87nYXtOzq

Busting myths on Black wealth: it's beyond just education & homeownership. Tune in to @BloombergDotOrg #FollowtheData podcast for expert insights on this topic and more!

[Garnesha Ezediaro @_garnesha]

New research from @nardotrealtor shows momentum exists to grow Black homeownership. But, longstanding barriers such as higher mortgage denial rates for Black applicants still need to be addressed before a future with more Black homeowners can be realized. https://t.co/UwZwpsaoLz
