Black Art as Investment

In this powerful second quarter issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women, we explore the transformative value of Black art as both a cultural treasure and a financial asset. Inside, you’ll find timely articles by expert contributors, including Pamela Sams on how investing in Black art is a wealth strategy, Dr. Christi Culpepper-Walker on the connection between mental health and money, J.R. Spann-Davis on legacy-building and tax benefits of art ownership, and Dr. Kevin Walker on navigating economic uncertainty with a financial GPS. Jewel Ham’s powerful 2021 artwork, “Did I Stutter,” graces the cover of Affluence Financial Fitness for Women magazine. This issue also features our Youth Artist Spotlight on Taliyah Haywood, an inspiring Letter from the Publisher by Dr. Anita R. Johnson, and a heartfelt Letter from the Editor-in-Chief, Candace L. Smith.
