Girl, Get Your Insurance Taken Care Of!
Stop putting it off!
Too many of us don’t want to talk about life insurance. But I’m here to tell you, it is so important for our community!
Death is going to happen.
Unfortunately, death is inevitable, much as we don’t want to think about it. But leaving your family in debt during their time of mourning makes a bad situation worse. But, life insurance can help provide financial security for your loved ones after this inevitable and tragic life event.
The truth is, we as African-Americans have a historically higher mortality rate than most other racial groups – in other words, we often die earlier in our lives. That can leave our families without our income and struggling to pay for our funeral expenses and the other bills we used to cover.
Also, we don’t earn as much on average as many other racial groups! That makes the loss of our income even harder for your families to deal with. And if we have to be hospitalized during the days or weeks before our death – woo! Our families are going to have to cover those expenses, as well as our funeral costs. Without life insurance, they may have to take out loans to make it happen.
The Barriers are real…
We know that our people have had so many barriers put in our way. And barriers to life insurance are there, too.
Too many of us don’t know how important life insurance is. No one in the family has talked to us about it, and the insurance companies aren’t coming into the neighborhood.
We think it’s too expensive.
We don’t trust the insurance companies – often with good reason! In the past, they have not been very trustworthy.
The stress we go through as a people can give us so many health problems, which makes life insurance more expensive.
And all. that. paperwork. Just to sign up. Ugh!
It’s no wonder we avoid getting life insurance!
…But we can make it through
That’s why we need to look to each other for help.
I’ve lived and worked in this community for over 30 years. I raised my children here. I love our city, and I love our people.
I can help you take the steps you need to take to get the life insurance that you need, to protect your assets and your family.
We can use life insurance to create a legacy, and help our families pass wealth and assets down to future generations.
They can pay for that college education without worrying about loans or having two or three jobs to cover expenses.
They can buy that house without dealing with a mortgage.
We can keep on breaking those barriers history has put in front of us, and build wealth.
