From the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant.
Roland Martin covered HOPE Global Forums 2018, and he sat down with me between sessions to talk about the one number our community keeps ignoring.
We brought together the largest bank meeting in the world for the empowerment of the poor. And one statistic sums up the challenge: almost half of all Black Americans have a credit score below 620. You can’t get a decent loan with a 580 score. Raise the score and you change everything that follows.
