If you’ve ever heard the term “estate planning” and thought it was something only for the old, wealthy, or those with children, think again. In today’s January Jumpstart podcast episode — designed to help you make 2025 one of your best years yet — we’ll be exploring how the process of organizing your will, as well as encouraging family members to do so, can be the key to unlocking a legacy of generational wealth for yourself and your loved ones.

Joining me for this conversation is the founder of the Association of Black Estate Planning Professionals, Attorney Aimee Griffin. Aimee is the principal attorney of Life & Legacy Counselors, an estate and business succession firm committed to creating, protecting, and transferring wealth. She is committed to strategic community economic development for Black people and serves as a corporate counselor, professor, and community educator. In today's conversation, we break down the steps of estate planning, highlight common mistakes to avoid during the process, and explore how estate planning can serve as a powerful tool for addressing the racial wealth gap.
