As women, our financial journey is unique and the steps to building wealth and financial resilience look different. Managing our finances means avoiding preconceived assumptions while gaining a full understanding of who you are as leaders and what impact we want to have for our career, our family, and our community. Instead of allowing our feelings to negatively impact our financial security and stability, we should reframe our mindset to best build financial confidence and understand the tools necessary to be financially resilient. Today is the day to own your financial journey.

 

Join Myah Moore Irick (founder of the Irick Group) for an interactive discussion. Myah will share financial tips and strategies on how to plan for life’s unexpected adventures, while staying focused on your long-term goals and your personal values. She will also share her own experiences with striving to do well while also doing good–by building her own team, challenging norms in financial services as a woman of color and educating others on impact investing and how to be financial resilient in all aspects of your life.
