The powerful forward of the LSU Tigers has never backed down from speaking her heart out. Her several NIL deals only support her cause to bring the word out. Following the same, Angel Reese has joined hands with the multinational investment bank and financial services company, Goldman Sachs. This is to contribute to one of her favorite causes, fulfilling black women’s dreams. However, this time, she is not doing it alone as her mother is also involved in the deal during Women’s History Month.

Angel Reese recently shared a post on her Instagram with a video advertisement for Goldman Sachs and their latest stint, “One Million Black Women.” Reese talks about the impact her mother has had on her through the years.

She also very joyously introduced her mom’s contribution saying, “Thanks to my mom @angelzeta410 for joining me as we teamed up with @goldmansachs One Million Black Women to show why it’s so important for Black women to be able to build their own financial legacy — but to do that, we need to help narrow the racial wealth gap. We’re asking Congress to do their part – it’s time to advance the ball.”

The advertisement not only tells the world about black women’s impact on society but also the huge racial financial gap in the country. Further, it also pokes Congress to do something about it.

The American banking mogul has launched an initiative to invest $10 billion in direct investment capital for African American women over the next 10 years. Their focus lies on bringing more opportunities to these women. Additionally, they will also try bridging the financial gap that prevents African American women from leaving a legacy. The proposal also commits $100 million in philanthropic support.

The entire idea is based on investing in African American women through various life stages, from childhood to retirement. The areas of investment cover healthcare, education, housing, and small businesses. As the leader in college basketball NIL valuation and having a single parent, Angel Reese knows a thing or two about how essential making a legacy of her own can be.
