because U.S. Bank really wanted to understand how we could play a pivotal role in closing wealth disparities in this country.

We've actually committed to supporting over 30,000 women-owned small businesses. Many of those businesses are already beginning to grow and scale and create jobs.

I recently have visited a project in Los Angeles called Destination Crenshaw, which is creating a art and culture corridor along Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles.

So we've seen very tangible examples of where our investments are actually helping small businesses, helping communities become more vibrant, and actually helping those homeownership disparities.

And so we're going to continue to focus on sharing those stories. We're going to continue to focus on supporting those organizations and individuals who are doing the work on the ground, because at the end of the day, this is about changing outcomes. And I think that's what people care about. And I think that's the work that's important for us to continue to do.
