"Let us put our moneys together... and reap the benefit ourselves." 
―Maggie L. Walker
Dear Leaders, 

The COVID-19 crisis has threatened our community's financial security in unimaginable ways. Many of us have lost jobs, are experiencing significantly reduced working hours, or are supporting family members who are struggling during this time. We know it's tough...but together, we're tougher. 

In honor of National Financial Literacy Month, we'll be having conversations about establishing financial security so we're prepared to survive and thrive when life hits us with unexpected storms. Keep reading to learn more.

"Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible.” 
―Carol Moseley Braun

As we navigate through the changes and challenges of COVID-19, we've decided to try something new with our weekly newsletters. Each week, we'll be sending you content aligned to our four core program areas: creation, connection, confidence and career.

Although we realize this does not substitute for our in-person experiences, we hope that it creates a new opportunity for us to stay connected and support each other through these unprecedented times. Scroll down to check out the new format and let us know your thoughts, feedback, and ideas:

"If the structure does not permit dialogue the structure must be changed” 
―Paulo Freire
Have you ever had a learning need go completely unnoticed by your family or teachers? The main character in Monday's Not Coming struggled with dyslexia, however, her unique learning needs were missed by some adults and ignored by others. How is this possible? Watch the video below to hear what some of our girls think, and RSVP for our April Breakfast Book Club to join our next discussion on the YA novel, Opposite of Always by Justin A.
