Athena Valentine Lent is fighting the good fight to bring financial education to people who look like her. Her family didn't know much about money, budgeting, or bank accounts. Then when Athena was a freshman in high school, her mother passed away. Immediately, she became a homeless teen on a rocky path.

Fortunately, her uncle inspired her to go to college, get an education, and turn her life around.

Today, Athena's work as a program manager for a nonprofit allows her to promote the importance of education, salary negotiations, and work-related opportunities for students all over the state of Arizona, especially those in low-income neighborhoods.

Although Black travelers spend over $109 Billion on travel annually, we are grossly underrepresented in travel marketing. Black travel content creators are passed up for media and employment opportunities as well as paid campaigns. We are not paid equitably, and many travel brands neglect to market directly to us. Black Travel Alliance is changing that.
