Greetings all,

The Concerned Black Men of Richmond conducted our first activity of the 2026 session entitled “Financial Literacy.”  It was held at Franklin Military Academy on January 10th and facilitated by Kevin Carter and Chad Holeman.  There were 15 mentees and 8 mentors at the activity.

 We started with a video informing them on various ways of allocating financial resources into needs and wants.

Next, we introduced the speaker of the day, Steve Holeman, Jr. a dedicated Assistant Finance Professor and finance professional with a passion for helping individuals and businesses make informed financial decisions. He was born and raised in Virginia. Mr. Holeman has been teaching at Virginia State University for 16 years at the Reginald F Lewis College of Business.

He teaches Principles of Finance, Principles of Investments, Financial Managerial Economics, Personal Finance Management, and Financial Accounting courses. Steve has a Bachelor of Accounting from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Business Administration from Averett University. He holds several finance certifications including Series 6 and 63. Steve’s contributions to finance education extend beyond the classroom. He has worked with several individuals and families on various personal finance topics

The youth were very engaged in the subject matter and some already started investing for their future.

We had another speaker, Brandon Goode a former youth mentee who reflected on how The Concerned Black Men of RVA impacted his development.

The Concerned Black Men of RVA work hard to provide impactful programs that give examples of options for them to incorporate into their lives!  We are looking forward to working with each of these young men and are confident that they will achieve great things in the future! 

Thanks, to each of you for your interest and contributions to our organization.  It means the world to our youth and the communities we serve.

Sincerely,
Tim Mallory, President CBM/RVA
