The Kemet Institute was a remarkably important program that left a rather large and positive impact on my thinking about my financial future. A freshman at the time, attending the Kemet Institute gave me a basic understanding of finance, stock market trading and personal investing, along with information on how to gain and maintain wealth. Additionally, it was nice to see a young African American man taking time out of his busy schedule to motivate and educate younger African American males on Saturdays in his home. We were provided an intimate class that not only taught finance, it covered other areas like choosing a college, getting money to pay for college education and making good choices in life. I was equally impressed that the class was taught by a black man who was distinguished, experienced, credible and on his way to becoming wealthy. I truly think this class would be an excellent opportunity for all adolescents, especially African American youth, because it gives the advantage of finance education that may not be offered in their schools. Plus, in today’s economy, the younger you learn how to attain and maintain wealth, the better off you will be as an adult.
It’s bewildering how simultaneously our people have progressed and regressed at the same time. We have our first African American president yet, we still have so many that have fallen into the trap of accepting mediocrity. I am fortunate enough to have a hard working son that wants more out of life but wasn’t quite sure on how he was going to get there. Kemet was a blessing to my family. Our children are sold a dream that they don’t find realistic. They are still told that being a doctor, a pro athlete, or a lawyer are the fields that get you riches and define success. Through the Kemet program my son was able to learn firsthand what an investment banker is and what they actually do. Not only did he learn how the financial world works but he now understands the how, when, and what things constitute a good investment. He has helped me in my retirement affairs as well as guided me in future investment opportunities. During his time participating in this program Victor seemed to mature and gather a lot more confidence in his plans for his life. He still plans to be an engineer but he has decided to minor in business. He constantly talks about “Rashaun” and is amazed at his dedication to God and how down to earth he is. I will be forever grateful for Kemet and I hope that anyone else that has this opportunity understands what a real honor it is to be a part of such an amazing program and take heed to the things learned. Thanks so much Rashaun and we will definitely keep you updated on Victor’s achievements!
