We loved this conversation that was a continuation from FinCon in 2022 when these ladies were on a panel together talking about building generational wealth in our communities. We love to see boss women like them having these types of conversations and creating their own seat at the table.
We want to see more representation of people who look like us and talk like us when it comes to building wealth, leaving legacy’s for our children and the next generation and shifting the narrative around money & mindset that honestly has been one sided for way too long.
