Jackie Robinson paved the way for me. Without him breaking the color barrier in the MLB for the Brooklyn Dodgers, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to become a part owner of the Dodgers. I'm forever grateful and proud to be a part of an organization with a history of promoting advancement and equality.

I’m looking forward to celebrating Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium tonight with Dodger nation, family, friends, and of course the men in blue as they face the Nationals!

44% of African Americans have a credit score below 620. You can't start a business, you can't get a business loan, and you'll get a crappy home loan too.
