King’s wife, Rai, had taken to her IG to discuss homeownership after the couple bought the house earlier in 2021.
“My hope for every little girl Black girl is that you grow up, get an education (if that’s your path) find love (if that’s your path) and fulfill every dream you have… Including home ownership,” her post started.
“I know we mostly lack the generational wealth that allows our parents to gift us down payments from homes like other communities. And I know there are racist, predatory systems that set up barriers all along the way…,” she continued. “But eventually, I hope you’re in a place where YOUR OWN hard work, determination, education, and gainful employment allow you to purchase the most beautiful, lovely, sweet home YOUR OWN money can buy.”
