Last night on The Pop-Up!, host The Big O welcomed Ché Davis, the Financial Literacy Chair of the NAACP Alaska Oregon Washington State Area Conference, for a conversation on expanding economic opportunity in the Black community and the organization’s upcoming Community Leaders Luncheon on June 11.

The discussion focused on financial empowerment initiatives like Baby Bonds, the importance of community leadership in expanding awareness and access to these economic opportunities in Washington, while also previewing the upcoming NAACP Community Leaders Luncheon featuring State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti.

Plus, the duo will recap current headlines, addressing new social housing developments in Seattle, Washington high schools ranking low in personal finance literacy and the proposal for a new financial literacy graduation requirement, and the Mariners’ recent $25,000 donation to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) in Kansas City.
