Diddy is making significant investments in the Black community, particularly in the realms of financial literacy and education. He has written two $1 million checks for different initiatives.

The first $1 million investment is a partnership between Diddy and the media platform Earn Your Leisure. This partnership will focus on promoting financial literacy among the Black community. The money will be used to create educational tools and resources aimed at teaching young Black individuals how to invest, diversify their portfolios, and start their own businesses. It also supports Diddy's three charter schools on the East Coast.

The second $1 million donation was made to Jackson State University's football team in Jackson, Mississippi. This donation was made through the Sean Combs Foundation and is intended to support the HBCU team.

Diddy's contributions aim to empower Black athletes, entrepreneurs, and creatives by providing them with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive financially and academically.
