This was amazing!! Keep inspiring others Mr. Washington 🔥
A beautiful piece and thanks Mr. Washington for being a true spark and wealth pioneer. Please protect him LR. Forces unknown will be coming for him. That train is never late.
We call this banking system SACCO (Savings and Credit Cooperative) in Kenya. Very popular, and gives commercial banks a run for their money. It's truly an African approach to banking: community. Predatory capitalism doesn't want it!
I just watched …
Dream Land: Little Rock’s West 9th street.
Leading me here!

Is that Mike Lebron I see? Okayy 🦁🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mr. Washington thank you for being the light in the darkness for so many. Your mother would be so proud of you and all you are doing for your community. John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Praise the Lord! Amazing documentary!❤ This!
While they were starring into one another eyes I was thinking, "You are my brother." "We are comrades." "We are not enemies." "We are protectors one of the other." "We are community builders." Please feel free to add to the list …
Coming together as one..
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Just wow! So proud of you and your team. Spread the word everyone
It is truly an amazing and inspiring story. ❤
Excellent documentary. This is what I'm screaming.. instead of complaining about what someone hasn't given our community. How about we start giving to our community. Join forces become banks, become trainers, become what your community needs. We we don't do it who will. Bravo to this entire team & community. Building Stronger families 1 person at a time
Great documentary
This is such a beautiful documentary. Thank you Mr. Washington for your efforts!
YouTube make this go viral.
Argo Washington, a great and noble mission, I see nothing but love here. I was so happy to see that 95% pays back. Y’all together can do this. I know you’re teaching about keeping books, records, and creating business plan, inventory costs and tax withholdings and tax payments. Way to go people.
Informative and inspirational. Thank you for this
The American dream doesn't include us black people 😕. People who own everything ate literally working some of us to death, and the money still is not enough. 🥺
Gratitude
❤
This is about being FREE!
Thank you for teaching and shinning a light on something I never would have known about.
