Black History Month 2024 fun fact courtesy of #BLACKEXPNETWORK: #eXp Realty is not just home to top agents, producers, and brokers; it's also the place where star power meets real estate excellence. In 2020, WNBA player Toccara Williams took her skills from the basketball court to the world of real estate, proving that the teamwork and dedication she brought to pro sports are just as valuable in helping others achieve their real estate dreams. Toccara is more than a real estate pro; she's a certified mentor at eXp and a conference host, sharing her expertise and knowledge through events like TM5 South Takeover. Her core values, instilled at Texas A&M, continue to shine through as she represents TM5, a brokered agency under eXp Realty. Toccara takes the time to give a personal touch when lending a hand. Toccara shared a marketing tip from her playbook with me in my first two weeks with #eXp. I don't know if it will make me a billionaire, but it is a technique grounded in connection and humanity and it has fostered great engagement, unity and fun! In 2021, Ronnie DeVoe, known for his impressive musical career with New Edition and BellBivDeVoe, brought his star power to eXp Realty after 15 successful years running DeVoe Broker Associates and DeVoe Real Estate. Ronnie's vision transcends boundaries, as he aspires to create a national and global entity that champions the cause of fair housing and racial equality. Joining the National Fair Housing Alliance, Ronnie aims to dismantle structural barriers, expand affordable housing options, and empower consumers while narrowing the racial wealth and homeownership gaps. As he works tirelessly to convert renters into homeowners, Ronnie DeVoe reminds us that in real estate, as in life, removing barriers and giving back are keys to a brighter future. #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #Entrepreneurship #GivingBack #RemovingBarriers #FairHousing #RacialEquality #EmpowerTheFuture #BLACKEXPNETWORK #exp #expproud

#Today #we #remember #George #Floyd 🖤. 1973-2020 🖤 🖤 🖤. #This #weekend #will #be #four #years #since #George #Floyd #was #killed by former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin. As we mark the #second #anniversary of the #Black #Equity #Organisation, we reflect on the poignant and powerful phrase : “#I #can’t #breathe.” These words, uttered by #George #Floyd #in #his #final #moments, ignited a global protest and movement which spurred us into action. #BEO was established in the aftermath of his #tragic #death, driven by a collective determination to #combat #systemic #racism, be an #advocate #for #the #rights #and #equity #of #Black #communities, and leverage the law to deliver policy changes that deliver a better lived experience for our people. Over the past two years, our journey has been filled with significant challenges and achievements as we continue to establish BEO for the long term. #As #Reverend #Al #Sharpton #said #at #an #event #in2023 – “We don’t need sprinters in the movement, we need marathon runners. #BEO #are #marathon #runners.” As we continue our journey, we remain humble yet hopeful, reflective yet resolute. Together, we will keep pushing forward, inspired by our ancestors and as I was reminded at the #Black #Britain #Mandate event in Scotland last week, by #Ace #Vision, we are all ancestors driven by the vision of a world where equity and justice prevail. #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter #EndRacism #SystemicRacism #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #SocialJusticeUK #UKActivism

One of the best things about working for ustwo is that we set out to make real impact. Check out the report below ⬇️ to see how ustwo's first year of partnership with Where are the Black Designers? has begun to address systemic inequalities in design.

Funding should go to those who are entrepreneurial. This is a good example. These are examples of ways we can begin to achieve equity.
