The most exciting thing that happened last week was I finally got a bank account (and this just goes to show how exciting my last week was) and became financially included!
So, this episode I want to talk about the important global issue of lack of financial inclusion and how Financial Technology ( FinTech) is helping improve financial inclusion especially among the underprivileged.  Listen to learn more!

Also, don't forget to register to GirlCon Chicago 2020 where I will be speaking and hosting a workshop on Tech + Finances.

Let's keep the conversation going! I wanted to talk about the Racial Wealth Gap. The Racial Wealth Gap is the product of centuries of injustice compounded to affect the financial well-being of present day black people living in America.

In order to be financially literate, we need to understand ongoing global events. Social injustice has been prevalent throughout human history, but in recent weeks there has been a lot of attention on racism. People from all over the world have come together to stand in solidarity for Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name. Also in light of Pride month, I believe it would be a good time to talk about Privilege, Oppression and Intersectionality.
