About This Episode

On this episode of More Than Profit, Bryce is talking with Briane Cornish, Founder and Executive Director of Brooklyn-based company, finEQUITY. finEQUITY advances the financial futures of those impacted by long-term incarceration. Justice-impacted individuals oftentimes do not have a credit score. Bryce and Briane talk about the implications of not having a credit score and how finEQUITY helps individuals mitigate them by providing micro-loans to help build credit and prove creditworthiness. Briane grew up in the shelter system and has first-hand experience with the policies and programs that are intended to help people struggling with financial insecurity. The lack of human-centered design in these policies and programs was apparent to her at a young age, which is why she is so adamant about working to address the challenges that surround incarceration with people that are actually experiencing those challenges.
