The difference between earning & building

wealth is what you keep

When it comes to personal finance, women of color know how to hustle and make money. That’s a given. We’re not saying you should stop working hard… at least not yet! But please believe that there’s a world in which you aren’t exchanging all of your time and energy for (not enough) money. It requires being proactive and strategic with managing your money and investing.

Now’s the time to get proactive about building wealth!

Wealth unlocks access, options, experiences, security, and freedom. Unfortunately, very few of us have tools to build lasting, meaningful wealth due to factors such as:

Limited access to financial education
Cultural taboos around money
Marginalization & discrimination
Unconscious bias in the workplace, and
Other systemic factors out of our control

It might not be easy at first, but it’s time to start believing that it’s possible. Our goal is to help you get there. 💪🏽

The 10 "Cash Commandments"

for women of color

Use this set of principles to empower you on your wealth journey.

1. Money Matters.

Earn it, spend it & grow it unapologetically.

2. Claim what's yours.

We are worthy of wealth.

3. Fight systemic barriers.

Acknowledge the world wasn’t built for us yet find ways to prevail.

4. Know the system to work the system.

Learn the strategies, shortcuts & loopholes that have kept wealth in the same hands for centuries.

5. Silence is violence.

The money taboo keeps us broke and powerless.

6. Learn & unlearn.

We look beyond the limits of our socialization.

7. Have no shame.

Heal past traumas and build a positive relationship with money.

8. Don't trade time for money.

It’s a rigged game. Freedom is escape from the rat race.

9. Make your money work for you.

Assets, investments & compound interest are the cheat code.

10. Start where you're at. But START.
