Detroit’s First Black-Owned Mortgage Company Changing Homeownership – Ep. 144 w/ Belong Lending

What Up Doe?! This week on the Black Fridays Podcast, we’re joined by the founders of Belong Lending, Detroit’s first Black-owned mortgage company. Born out of a vision to close the wealth gap and rewrite the narrative around homeownership, Belong Lending is making the path to buying a home more accessible, transparent, and culturally rooted for Detroiters. We dive into how the founders came together to build something the city has never seen before, the challenges of disrupting an industry that hasn’t always served Black communities well, and why homeownership is more than just property—it’s about stability, legacy, and generational wealth.

We’re talking:

• The journey of building Detroit’s first Black-owned mortgage company
• Tackling systemic barriers to Black homeownership
• Why access to homeownership equals access to power and stability
• A vision for Detroit where everyone feels they belong

Tap in for a powerful conversation about housing, equity, and what it really means to invest in the future of Detroit.
