Young women of color can overcome financial insecurity by enrolling in competitive, strategic, and entrepreneurial programs. These initiatives provide access to universities, careers, and financial literacy education, in addition to valuable resources and social networks that can lead to long-term financial stability.
The woman behind Seeds of Fortune
“A Posse Leadership Scholar at Babson College on a $250,000 scholarship graduating in 2014. I believed it was my duty to help ease the financial burdens of those in my generation; so I created a scholars program to help teen girls obtain local and national scholarships and learn the tools needed for wealth creation.”
