About Marlon Ewing

I am the founder of Bridging the Gap, an organization that works to bridge the wealth gap in underserved communities. I was inspired to start Bridging the Gap after working in the securities industry and seeing the everyday financial problems that black professionals, families, and individuals face. These problems include credit issues and debt management.
