Black Gen Z is paving the way toward financial independence, 60% identify as mostly or fully financially independent – greater than their non-Black peers (45%), they crave paths to financial freedom not only to transform themselves, but society. More so than any generation before, today’s Black youth are uniquely paving their own paths and are  poised to rewrite negative societal narratives and break generational cycles. It’s a belief that Britney feels strongly about, inspiring and advocating for Black youth to leverage entrepreneurial skills and enter the marketplace with more than a dream, but a strategically curated set of skills to help them break through the often limiting boundaries placed on them by society. By sharing invaluable lessons she’s learned from working with over 700 Black youth founders and her personal experiences as a young social entrepreneur herself, Britney helps Black youth understand how they can get their idea into the marketplace, apply innovation and relevance to attract investors, and leverage entrepreneurial values across any career path — ultimately, catapulting the enviable and innate motivation of Black Gen Z into real actionable strategy.

The Dynamic Generation: A Guide to Investing in Future Disruptors

Championing a culture of ownership, Black Gen Z are 3x as likely to prioritize starting or growing a business compared to their non-Black Gen Z counterparts (15% vs. 5%). It’s inevitable that the startup ecosystem will be shaped and deeply influenced by them, and investors, advisors and other founders have a lot to learn from this dynamic generation. Britney believes the impact that Black youth bring to the marketplace supersedes the common criteria investors often look for like age, network connections, and experience. Particularly, when we invest in underserved Black youth, we can have great impact on their own self-worth, perception of the meaning of success, and can positively impact underrepresented neighborhoods. Black Gen Z’s extreme focus on ESG, innate navigation of technology, passion for social justice, and desire for more collaborative investor/founder relationships, makes them ideal for seed funding. Britney helps investors and advisors understand how they can attract and lead with this new generation of Black entrepreneurs to create prolific social and economic impact.

Living F.R.E.E: 4 Steps to Financial Freedom through Economic Equity in the Black Community

The US Census Bureau’s Annual Business Survey identified some 124,000 Black-owned businesses with more than one worker—which means that they constitute only 2 percent of the nation’s total, far below the 13 percent Black share of the US population. Stats like this are not a reflection of desire for ownership in the Black community, but rather a reflection of social and economic inequities that often undermine paths to success. Britney believes the keys to addressing these inequities lie in a more radical shift in investing that creates accountability for how we’re changing the society that we say we want to see differently. True economic equity begins with widening the bottleneck to create space for Black community based entrepreneurs to have a seat at the table regardless of network or pedigree. Brintey’s proprietary F.R.E.E. model—a four-step system intentionally developed to address the most pressing needs of bringing economic justice to the Black community—rethinks the strenuous and misaligned vetting and investing priorities often placed on Black entrepreneurs. The F.R.E.E model challenges us to take worthy risks and think more radically, beyond venture capital, to define what equitable investment vehicles exist to enable Black community based entrepreneurs to grow beyond the founder, reinvest in the community, and reimagine their futures.

Build Where You Are: How to Sustain your business and your community

Social entrepreneurship is a noble cause, developing a solution that creates social value for society’s most pressing issues and like many others, Britney has navigated the ups and downs of just that. But unlike many others, she craved one thing, more authentic candor about what to do when things feel more grind than glamorous. 20% of new businesses fail in the first two years and 45% during the first five—so maybe it’s time we got real about the personal and professional investment it takes to sustain a business. As an advocate for “both and” versus “either or”, Britney brings to light the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and how you can navigate both effectively with constant collaboration, centering community needs, and redefining success. No toxic positivity, no hoo-rahs, just real advice from a real social entrepreneur.
