MoCaFi has held On Our Block events in cities around the country including Birmingham, St. Louis, Ferguson and New York City as part of their founding mission to reduce racial wealth inequality.

“Los Angeles is the second largest city in the nation and there is no reason for any one of its residents to lack access to banking services and pathways to wealth,” said Wole Coaxum, founder and CEO of MoCaFi. “We’re excited to bring On Our Block back to the Watts community to engage with them on financial literacy and provide access to financial resources. We’re already building a lasting relationship with Los Angeles and we can’t wait to continue doing so.”
“I was honored to sit on a panel with real changemakers in LA, like Brandon Salaam-Bailey and to speak to so many LA natives about their financial futures,” said Akinfe-Reed. “Saturday’s event was a real celebration of community and prosperity.”
“On Our Block is an event to close the information gap for underserved communities. Each one, teach one is the mantra to produce financial success for all blocks nationwide,” said Salaam-Bailey.
