The Jali Ep 172: Pass the Power – Protecting Your Legacy Through Estate Planning

Did you know the median wealth of a single Black woman in America is just $100, while the median wealth for white men exceeds $28,000? Or that the racial wealth gap between Black and white families hasn’t changed in over 30 years?

This is not about a lack of hard work. It’s about systemic barriers—generations of missed opportunities caused by inequities in access, education, and estate planning.

That’s why this episode is so important.

We’re sharing a powerful replay of Pass the Power, a live webinar hosted by the Tracy Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, where I serve on the Economic Development Committee. This conversation features attorney Charlene Usher, Managing Partner of Usher Law Group, APC, who breaks down why estate planning is not just for the wealthy.

Charlene shares:

• Why every family needs a living trust
  
  

• How estate planning protects your assets and your voice
  
  

• Practical steps to begin building intergenerational wealth—starting today
  
  

This is essential knowledge for our communities. Let’s talk about legacy, power, and how we pass it on.
