Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson Discusses Intergenerational Wealth in the Black Community
Mayor-elect Katie Wilson spoke on increasing economic stability in Seattle’s Black community during a recent interview on “The Big O Show.” Wilson said she is highly committed to "cracking this knot of intergenerational wealth" and aims to create stability and security in the Black community by growing wealth for individuals, families, and communities.
Wilson said she learned about great organizations during her campaign doing key work, including Black Legacy Homeowners, the Resource Equity Association, and the Peoples Economy Lab. She said her goal is to not only prevent further displacement but also to create lasting stability in the Black community. This stability is associated with having land, resources, and housing that is owned by the community and is permanent.
