Strategically Building Relationships With Communities of Color

7. Recognize that communities of color are at difference stages. In many there is still a general lack of knowledge about financial management and investment planning. This certainly is not a result of a lack of caring; rather, it's an issue of financial maturity.

8. Earn trust by demonstrating your commitment to learning by becoming engaged in cultures other than your own. Similarly, if you are a member of community of color, reach out and invite someone to join you at a cultural or educational event.
