Her passion lies in creating accessible, affordable, and sustainable homeownership opportunities, especially for underrepresented communities.

These programs equip loan officers and real estate agents with the tools, knowledge, and cultural competency they need to effectively serve minority homebuyers, particularly in the Black community. In this conversation, Mosi shares insights into how lenders, agents, and policymakers can work together to remove barriers and ensure that homeownership becomes a reality for more families across the nation.
