WHAT IF?
Today’s modern society prides itself on breeding new ideas, new innovation, and new growth at the intersection of government, commerce, the arts, and more… but what if value creation didn’t have to come with social destruction? What if the system so focused on creating more was just as focused on protecting our most vulnerable?
AT 10SEVEN, WE ADDRESS FINANCIAL TRAUMA
AT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
In the spaces, places, and organizations that consistently and deliberately oppress Black people and prevent them from building wealth. We partner with those who are ready to acknowledge their role in perpetuating systemic trauma, providing them with rigorous research insight to better understand that trauma and developing bespoke solutions to help mitigate it.
You see, we don't believe the entrepreneurial spirit is all bad.
It’s what’s kept many oppressed groups alive, despite the odds stacked against them. But we focus on harnessing this spirit to creatively check the system, outsmart harmful policies, and help people begin to heal.
OUR BRAND UNDOES THE FINANCIAL TRAUMA INFLICTED ON BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR COMMUNITIES
We partner with leaders and institutions from across the private sector. This includes cultural influencers and activists, as well as financial institutions who acknowledge their role in inflicting trauma and want to make a change. Leveraging our proprietary research and collaborative approach, we help our partners invest in meaningful impact.
How we change the narrative
TO US, CHANGING THE NARRATIVE MEANS UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO "FIX" FINANCIAL TRAUMA AND DISMANTLE AN INHERENTLY HARMFUL FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

CHLOE B. MCKENZIE
She briefly found fulfillment as a mortgage trader on Wall Street, with some financial counseling to Black women on the side, until it made her sick. And that made her question everything.
In 2015, BlackFem was founded and now has a renewed focus on healing financial trauma and is propelling Black people forward. And now, 10Seven allows us to achieve wealth justice on a large scale.
