Flash forward and Green's back home in Oakland for the summer, getting ready to start his junior year at Pitzer College in Southern California. He's also started a new career after being recruited for a job. " I am an investments associate at Capital Group," said Green."I work on product management for credit exchange funds that the current hedge fund is like pushing out. It's summer job, but hopefully at the end of the month I will have an offer.
"I think someone from my background of being like a low income, like gay Black man...growing up in Oakland, like things happen to me," explained Green."I don't influence currents. I don't influence the market. So I think bringing that perspective, of being an under-represented person and entering these spaces where I have no business being in that I really bring another perspective. I really bring that impact and actually can have a positive impact in my community.
"For the first time going to Africa I saw like Black people filling different personalities, different viewpoints, different people on the political spectrum," said Green."It really like brought out my true self. Like, I really found myself on that trip.""In Africa, you saw like Black bankers, you saw like Black investors, you saw like Black real estate agents," said Green.
