Towards the end of 2010, a financial management firm run by a former colleague of Delasol founder, Suneye Rae Holmes, approached us with a unique project: providing economic education to victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill who are of Native American descent. We were of course intrigued, as The Delasol Group was organized to galvanize people of color towards economic parity. Since that initial meeting, the Fiduciary Management Group (FMG)** has made an apprentice, and a believer out of Delasol. We've been hands on at ground zero: greeting potential claimants, answering questions, explaining terminology, exchanging life stories, parsing through documents and educating the masses. People have told us the dogged truth on how their lives have forever changed since this catastrophe. The need for reparation is great, but the story is not to end there. On this, the one-year anniversary of the BP Oil Spill, we invite you to view our vlog documentary on our work that is ongoing in the Gulf of Mexico; the first of its kind on the ECONtrepreneur. The Delasol Group is committed to partnering with FMG and the U.S. Government to see that this community gets the compensation and education it rightfully deserves.
Personal, practical economics. For everyone.
Prosperity,
delasol
