As part of a collaborative research project between people from racialised communities, London School of Economics and Equality Trust, Hibiscus shares his insights into what is wealth, what helps and hinders people from racialised communities to build wealth and what could make a difference. The research was funded by the British Academy Innovation Fellowship Scheme (Fellowship number IF2324/24008). You can find the summary briefing from this project and any further information from www.equalitytrust.org.uk
This storyteller describes wealth as property,investments and fancy cars but describes difficulty in accumulating wealth due to high taxes, and the overwhelming price of property and lack of education. This person believes lower taxes, training and networking opportunities in business and affordable home buying schemes would make it easier to grow wealth.
