📢 Thank you @WashInformer for spotlighting #DiminishedReturns: The Black Wealth Gap in Washington D.C.! ✨
Executive produced by iF, Co-CEO, @TemiBennett, and written & directed by @anthroprince, the film offers needed perspective on how we close the Black wealth gap in D.C.
Looking for us? 👀 We’re on Bluesky!
iF is imagining a world where Black people and people of the global majority live fully and freely in abundant, self-determined, and safe communities.

A big thank you to @petulad & @washingtonpost for their thoughtful coverage of Diminished Returns! Special appreciation for highlighting Jocelind Julien, whose story is a vital part of our work to shed light on the structural inequities driving the Black Wealth Gap in DC.

Over the last few months, iF proudly hosted two private screenings of our inaugural film, “Diminished Returns: The Black Wealth Gap in Washington, D.C.,” executive produced by iF Co-CEO @TemiBennett and written and directed by @anthroprince.
Thank you to our co-hosts @GEOfunders and @HumanityUnited and to the incredible community members, colleagues, and friends who attended these powerful events.
Diminished Returns is more than a film — it’s a call to action, providing advocates and policymakers with a roadmap for reparative solutions to close the Black wealth gap in D.C.

The event brought together racial equity government staff across the DC region to network, coordinate, and collaborate. In their conversations they asked, “What iF our laws were anti-racist?”

“Every foundation has an origin story that we believe ties the wealth that generated the endowment for those foundations to racialized capitalism, to structural racism.

We all have an obligation to know that truth, to reckon with the truth and to repair the harm.” — @HanhLeDC, Co-CEO at if, A Foundation for Radical Possibility
