Broker owner and CEO of Blue Dolphin Capital, Sam Harris III, candidly explains his thoughts on why the mortgage industry continues to fail Black and other under-resourced borrowers as well as aspiring mortgage professionals, despite the amount of DEI initiatives being implemented by companies and associations nationwide.
