21 Savage wants high school students to set themselves up with ample money in their “Bank Account.”
Named after his 2017 hit song, 21’s Leading By Example Foundation held its inaugural ‘Bank Account Financial Literacy Week’ in partnership with Dekalb Country Schools. The festivities began this week with a live panel at Lithonia’s Miller Grove High School. In press materials, the initiative was described as seeking to “educate and empower the next generation with essential financial knowledge.”
Throughout the week, more than 400 students from five local schools—including Salem Middle School, Panola Way Elementary School, Peachtree Middle School and Bethune Middle School—will participate in engaging financial literacy sessions for the development of successful money management skills.
Customized by age and grade level, the 90-minute workshops will include demonstrations, guided discussions and Q&As. The week opened with an educational panel discussion by Danielle Ball, Executive Director of the Leading By Example Foundation, Tammy Brook, Founder/CEO of FYI Brand Group & Co-founder of Get to Yes Productions, and 21’s brother, Kimmuel Bryan-Joseph, who’s an accountant and AR Specialist.
The event comes nearly one year after the rapper’s foundation released a digital financial literacy workbook, titled Master Your Money: Financial Success 101 Guide With 21 Savage.
