Financial Literacy Month: Let's blow some money norms up

Did you know that the wealth gap for women overall is 32 cents (compared to a man's dollar), and for Black and Latinx women it's 1 cent? (Source: Ellevest)While it's unlikely that we close the pay, wealth, and investing gap in one generation let's start by sharing financial know-how. Let's move the needle on the lever we have the most control over: investing.Let's blow up some outdated norms up, one of the key ones being that women are not good with money. Did you know research shows women are just as good or slightly better at investing?I'll be hosting a free Personal Finance & Investing workshop on Wednesday, 4/21 at 5pm PST. It'll be a virtual small-group happy hour where we answer your money questions in a judgment free-space.You can RSVP here: https://oyfinvesting.ck.page/c0683d9631Note: while this is hosted to support women, everyone is welcome to attend in the spirit of inclusion & community.********A bit about my story and background for those interested in joining:Some of us might have been born naturally confident, outgoing, and at ease with the world. That was not me.I've encountered self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and an ever-present worry about financial security that I inherited from my immigrant parents.Despite majoring in Finance, getting in MBA, and working at financial services companies, I realized no one teaches us personal investing. And not all of us learn get it through dinner table conversations at home.Over time, I had to consciously condition my own beliefs and thinking:-It's admirable for women to be ambitious and financially-astute-It's great to celebrate women making money, even if it's not under the larger banner of social impact-We won't have true gender equality without economic equalitySo let's keep the conversation going. Hope you'll join the workshop if you have personal finance questions!********About the host:I’m Yaya and I’ve spent the past 10+ years as a practitioner and mentor on the topics of personal finance & investing.
