Financial literacy is about much more than just dollars and cents; it's about independence, breaking cycles of poverty, and bridging the wealth gap.

As we know, the status quo doesn't serve the global majority. That's why it's so important that we create opportunities to move ourselves into positions that empower us. Financial literacy is a powerful tool that does just that, enabling women and other marginalized genders to take charge of their economic destinies.  With financial know-how, individuals can confidently navigate the financial landscape, make informed decisions, and secure their futures. It's a key to entrepreneurship, wise investing, and protecting against financial exploitation. Plus, it's a cornerstone for advocating for economic rights and participating in policy discussions. In this week's episode, Kim and Louise are joined by co-founder of investHER Academy + Startup Smart Kids, Angel Padulo. Frustrated with the scarcity of women investors in the room, Angel is determined to help women and children learn about the financial freedom that comes from being an investor.
