Last evening, Assemblyman Charles D. Fall (D-Richmond, Manhattan, Brooklyn), hosted part one of a series of forums centering on building generational wealth. The venue host was Canvas Institute located at 150 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY.

Personal testimonials were given by Emanual Bloomfield-Jones and Mohammed Diallo.

This is just one of several forums that Assemblyman Fall plans on hosting throughout the upcoming year.

“It was an honor to host part one of a series of generational wealth forums, I plan to put together in the upcoming year. As we move closer to a full recovery from the COVID pandemic, the information shared last night will shed light for current and prospective small business owners, homeowners and entrepreneurs located in the 61^st Assembly District.
