Empowering the African American community


Now, and for generations to come

By becoming both a New York Life financial professional and a member of the African American Market Unit (AAMU), you will be in a position to help make a difference for Black individuals and their communities and businesses.

Together, our dedicated agents who are also members of the AAMU are leading a purpose-driven movement to help create billions of dollars of wealth for generations to come.

The opportunity to partner with New York Life is much more than a career. It is an opportunity to be a part of a movement destined to change the financial trajectory of the communities we love.

Meaningful resources for your clients and career

You understand the values, traditions, and cultural expressions of the African American community. And with the help of our resources, you’ll not only have the opportunity to grow your career, but also the wealth of Black families and businesses. These resources include:

  • Seminar content that speaks to the African American market.
  • Local sponsorship events to generate meaningful connections.
  • Personalized ads and collateral to build your practice.

A deeper connection

New York Life has a long-standing relationship with neighborhoods, schools, and local organizations, which means you’ll have an even deeper connection to the community in which you work. You’ll be a trusted source of information and guidance for years to come.

Build your career and your community

New York Life’s African American Community Empowerment Plan was created to help families build wealth with life insurance. In 2017, our agents exceeded our goal of reaching $50B in life insurance protection to help close the wealth gap and improve intergenerational wealth transfer for the African American community. Today we’re setting our sights on continued growth and even higher goals to further our mission.
