Financial Literacy Workshop: Let's Glow Up Financially!
Ready to glow up financially?
If you've been meaning to "learn more about money" but have no idea where to start... hi, same.
That's exactly why we, Antonia (@piscola.mami) and Anna (@xochimilcuh), are hosting this FREE financial literacy workshop.
Save your seat here.
This is for the first-gen baddies, Latinas, and honestly anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by investing, taxes, budgeting, or all the random financial terms people act like you should already know.
We'll cover things like:
Saving, budgeting & growing your money
Investing without feeling overwhelmed
Understanding taxes & avoiding common mistakes
How to talk about money with confidence
The financial basics many of us were never taught
No finance background needed!
We'll break down the financial basics in plain English, answer your questions, and help you build the confidence to start making informed financial decisions.
And don't worry, we're not trying to sell you a course, convince you to buy crypto, or recruit you into anything. Pinky promise.
Come ready to learn, ask questions, set financial goals, connect with your community, and leave feeling more knowledgeable, empowered, and confident about your money!
This workshop is completely free, but registration is required since space is limited.
