Building on her wealth equity consulting work, in 2015, McKenzie founded BlackFem, a nonprofit that pushes a financial literacy curriculum.
When Chloe B McKenzie decided to shave off all her hair during lockdown, it took her three days to unpack the connection between her beauty standards and her relationship with money and wealth. On the fourth day? Rebirth.
‘Financial literacy’ is a term that often seems daunting to outsiders of Wall Street, and inaccessible to people lacking higher education or societal power. Chloe B. McKenzie’s mission is to lift this proverbial iron curtain. “I don’t think anyone talks about activist investors at all,” she tells L’Officiel USA.
V chatted with the researcher and educator about the intricacies of financial oppression on BIPOC people, the crossover of art and knowledge, and GameStop.

Bank On Her follows the story of Kyra and her mother. It teaches readers about building wealth through compound interest and the power banks can have on our journey to building a healthier relationship with money and wealth.

The Activist Investor describes how we can close the wealth gap and build wealth through investing. It takes the fundamentals of buying and trading stocks and applies Chloe B. McKenzie’s wealth justice method to reveal how we can actually do well by doing good.
