President's Message

Aimee Griffin

President & Founder

"The work of building Black wealth is sacred, strategic, and shared. At ABEPP, we are reimagining what's possible when our community's most committed professionals collaborate with purpose."

Friends, colleagues, and changemakers,

When I founded ABEPP, I carried with me the stories of families who lost everything — homes passed down for generations, businesses built from scratch, dreams deferred — all because the right plan wasn't in place. I knew we could change that.

ABEPP exists because the racial wealth gap is not an accident. It is the result of policy, exclusion, and a system that was not built for us. But we are not powerless. We have the expertise. We have the will. And now, with this strategic alliance, we have each other.

Whether you are an attorney drafting trusts, a planner advising families, a CPA navigating taxes, or a community member seeking guidance — there is a place for you here. Together, we are building a future where Black wealth is preserved, protected, and passed on with intention.

Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for showing up. The work continues — and it is the most meaningful work we will ever do.

With purpose and gratitude,

Aimee Griffin
