Investing in Black Art: A Wealth Strategy with Cultural Impact

Investing in Black Art: A Wealth Strategy with Cultural Impact – Now in the Latest Issue of Affluence

When we think about investing, we often go straight to Wall Street—stocks, bonds, mutual funds. But what if we told you that one of the most meaningful ways to build wealth could be hanging on a gallery wall, displayed at a community exhibit, or even tucked into your home?

In the newest issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women, we’re proud to feature an insightful article from seasoned financial advisor Pamela Sams, of Jackson Sams Wealth Strategies. Her article, “Investing in Black Art: A Wealth Strategy with Cultural Impact,” explores how Black women can begin to build lasting wealth while supporting the artists, culture, and narratives that speak to our truth.

“Investing isn’t all about stocks and bonds; it’s about finding opportunities that align with your values and financial goals. One overlooked but powerful opportunity? Black art.” — Pamela Sams

From the Harlem Renaissance to today’s emerging creatives, Black art has long served as a mirror of our experience and a megaphone for our voices. Pamela Sams outlines practical steps for assessing value, supporting living artists, and turning cultural appreciation into legacy-building assets.

This issue isn’t just about financial returns—it’s about impact, visibility, and preserving our stories.

Rewiring Your Mind for Financial Wellness: How Hypnotherapy Can Transform Your Relationship with Money By Anna Kato, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist Have you ever felt a knot in your stomach when checking your bank account? Or maybe you’ve experienced overwhelming anxiety when thinking about bills or future expenses.

From Beauty to Balance Sheet: A Letter from the Publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson There’s something deeply affirming about seeing your wealth reflected not just in your bank account, but in the beauty that surrounds you. In this month’s powerful issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women, our publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson, opens with a moving letter that redefines what it means to be financially empowered—and artistically inspired. Dr. Johnson shares a personal memory: the first time she purchased a piece of art.
