"Rachel, thanks so much for seeing our baby through its next growth spurt!" 💚
ㅤ
That`s what WMM founder Anita Saville inscribed in a copy of her book With a Passion — the origin story of WMM — when she recently met with Interim Executive Director Rachel Borgatti to talk about what`s ahead for this organization.
ㅤ
Built over 15+ years of heart, hustle, and "just go for it" energy, the foundation has never been stronger. We`re so grateful for everything you started, Anita. The best is still to come.

Financial education should be accessible to everyone, and this new Boston museum is putting that belief into action. 💚
ㅤ
The @financemuseum, a Smithsonian-affiliated institution, has opened its new home at Commonwealth Pier in Boston`s Seaport. Admission is free, no tickets or reservations required.
ㅤ
Inside you`ll find interactive exhibits on personal finance, U.S. financial history, and even an AI-powered Alexander Hamilton who can explain compound interest in terms your kid will actually understand, and challenge them to a game of trivia!
ㅤ
At WMM, we`re excited to see financial wellness gaining more visibility in our community. If you`re local, we encourage you to visit.

📍 200 Seaport Blvd | Free | Wed–Sun

Did working harder actually make things harder? There`s a name for that.

The benefits cliff happens when a small increase in income triggers the loss of essential benefits — SNAP, food assistance, healthcare, childcare — leaving families worse off than before. It`s not a personal failure, but part of a broken system.
ㅤ
WMM is collecting stories from women who have lived this. Have you ever earned a little more and lost access to benefits you depended on? Your experience matters and sharing it can help change things.
