About this session

Between layoffs, furloughs, pay cuts and an ever fluctuating stock market, 2020 has been a tough year for many people financially. As we inch closer to a new year, it’s time to get our financing in order because without financial equity we can never achieve true workplace equality.

Join Candace McGee, Money Coach and CEO MFE Consulting, and Sheneya Wilson, Founder & CEO, Fola Financial for an interactive, in-depth conversation on how to start 2021 on strong financial ground.

Candace and Sheneya will be joined by PowerToFly’s Abigail Vachon, Lead Talent Advocate (and former Financial Advisor) as they share their insights and answer your questions on such topics as:

  • Saving for the Future
  • Investing on a Budget
  • Getting Started in the Stock Market
  • Being a Thriving Black Entrepreneur (and How You Can Be Too)
  • And More!
