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.

  • Saving for the Future
  • Investing on a Budget
  • Getting Started in the Stock Market

  • And More!
