In today’s economic landscape, financial activism is not just a movement—it’s a necessity. At Blaze Group, we’re committed to closing racial and gender wealth gaps, specifically for Black women entrepreneurs. Our mission is to decolonize pathways to economic success, ensuring that business owners are empowered to make sound financial decisions that lead to sustainability, profitability, and investability.
What is Financial Activism?
Financial activism involves leveraging financial tools and education to drive social change. It’s about challenging the status quo and creating equitable financial systems that support marginalized communities. At Blaze Group, we believe in reparative measures in finance — non-extractive, community-centered approaches that repair trust and build strong relationships within disenfranchised populations.
Our Three Core Offerings
Educational Empowerment through the Blaze Group App: Available on Android and iOS in 176 countries, our app provides comprehensive financial education tailored for Black women entrepreneurs. We cover essential topics such as financial statement analysis, fundraising, and business development. By educating entrepreneurs, we empower them to lead from a place of financial strength.
Technical Assistance for Communities: We provide technical assistance to nonprofits, grassroots organizations, community-based networks, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Our goal is to teach communities how to save themselves, making destructive capital frameworks irrelevant and fostering economic liberation.
Consulting for Fintech Innovators: We consult with fintech companies that are democratizing capital access. By aiding in organizational design and product development, we ensure that financial products are informed by the needs of borrowers, particularly those from marginalized communities.
Decolonizing Economic Success
Decolonizing economic success means dismantling predatory and discriminatory practices of the traditional banking system, and replacing them with regenerative, sustainable models. At Blaze Group, we advocate for patient capital — investment that fuels well-being indicators and leverages social capital to support borrowers. This approach creates jobs, sustains families, and circulates economic activity within communities, leading to long-term sustainability.
Our Commitment to Economic Liberation
We exist to close the racial and gender wealth gap in the Black community. By providing education, technical assistance, and consulting services, we empower communities to thrive for generations to come. We believe in the power of social capital and the importance of community-centered financial models. Our work is driven by the belief that economic liberation is essential for the prosperity of Black and Brown communities.
