Reducing Barriers to Wealth Creation for Underserved Communities, Initiating with Girls.  ​

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.”
