Wall Street has historically shut its doors to Black women, so right here in Dallas, two founders built their own.

This week on Making Black History Today, hosts Liz & Porter sit down with LaToya Gooden and JaCoi Pugh, the creators of Black Women's Wall Street. Together, they break down what it actually takes to invest while Black, push past the barriers still built into corporate finance, and turn community into generational wealth.

This isn't a corporate success story. It's an unfiltered look at what it takes to build something that brings Black women entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders together to create ownership and lasting impact.

In this episode, you'll hear:

- How Black Women's Wall Street grew from a local idea into a movement

- The barriers Black women entrepreneurs still face—and how they're overcoming them

- Why building wealth together creates more impact than doing it alone

- The role of strategic relationships and mentorship in growing a business

- Why ownership is essential to closing the racial wealth gap

- What legacy means when you're building something designed to outlive you

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a professional, a community leader, or

someone building toward a stronger financial future—this one's for you.
