Gentrification and Home Ownership

June 24, 2021

We're wrapping Home Ownership Month with Winston Robinson, creator of the housing fair known as A Vibe Called Fresh CLT. Winston shares his passion with the Divas on the effects of gentrification and why home ownership, especially knowing WHERE to buy, is so important.
