Collective Development Vol. 2

Event will be located in the DOWNSTAIRS fellowship hall of The Congregation.

Breaking Generational Cycles. Building Generational Blessings.

Survival shaped us.

Structure will define us.

This Black History Month, we’re gathering for a powerful, guided conversation centered on Black families and the future we’re responsible for building.

The wealth gap didn’t happen by accident. And it won’t close by effort alone. It requires structure, strategy, and collective movement.

During this 90-minute experience, we will explore:

• How history shaped financial behavior in our community

• The difference between survival habits and wealth-building structure

• Why individual success doesn’t close systemic gaps

• What intentional legacy-building actually requires

This event is conversational, educational, and action-oriented — not a lecture, and not a sales pitch.

You’ll leave with:

• Clarity around inherited patterns that may be limiting growth

• A deeper understanding of how the wealth gap persists

• A practical framework for shifting from survival to structure

• A renewed sense of collective responsibility
