On this powerful BWAARP edition of Urban Family Focusโ€”our Black Wealth Attainment & Retention Programโ€”we're diving deep into a critical topic that too often gets overlooked: insurance.

Our guest, Harold W. Dickens II, is the Owner of HWD Adjusting Company and a Public Insurance Adjuster with over 30 years of experience. Harold is a trusted advocate for homeowners and business owners, helping them recover what theyโ€™re rightfully owed. Unlike insurance companies, he works for the policyholder.

A former licensed general contractor, expert witness, and insurance consultant, Harold brings unmatched knowledge, real-world insight, and a passion for empowering our community. He also serves as Board Chair of the L.A. Southwest College Foundation and has been a leader in several civic and professional organizations including PCAPIA, NAPIA, GLAAACC, and local Black Chambers of Commerce.
