Its always graduation season at Women’s Money Matters. Join us in celebrating two recent Financial Futures cohorts! Here’s what some had to say about their financial wellness journeys:
🎓 Fiorella successfully launched her mobile manicure/pedicure business and is already making strides with her first appointments. Her coach helped her budget her income, which has been going straight into savings!
🎓 Cherry valued the safe space created by the group, where women come together to talk about money and share tips. Though she’s just starting out, Cherry plans to apply the skills she’s learned as she progresses in her career.
🎓 Deborah celebrated opening a savings account and growing her savings, thanks to the support from her coach, Ellen. They tackled many challenges together, leading to big achievements.
🎓 Ruth’s favorite part of the program, besides her coach, was her cohort of fellow graduates. Ruth praised her coach, Nicole, for meeting her where she was and providing support she needed while holding her accountable.
🎓 Lumina checked off SIX goals from her vision board and is now excited to set new goals post-graduation!
Congratulations to all of the graduates, and a special thank you to our partner, DTA Works, for their support in making the programs possible. Here’s to each participants continued success on their financial journeys! 👏

🎉 Join us in Celebrating the Graduation of Another Financial Futures Cohort! 🎉
Through our Financial Futures program, women are empowered to take charge of their finances and pursue their financial goals with confidence. This latest group, who fittingly named themselves the "Money Masters," has gained important skills and knowledge to thrive on their financial journeys, with the support of our dedicated coaches. Here’s what some of our graduates had to share:
💬 "Coach Erin, you were absolutely incredible! I’m excited about the lasting friendship and mentorship we’ve built. Thank you for being my life boat during the hardest time in me and my son`s life!!"
💬 "Writing everything down—the budget—made me so much more aware of where my money was going. My goal was to fix my credit, and I did! I now have a credit card and a savings account. But most importantly, the support from my coach, Marilyn Clark, was outstanding!"
A big cheer for the graduates for their hard work and dedication. Here’s to your continued success and financial empowerment!

The benefits of a good credit score is one of Women`s Money Matters Financial Futures discussions. Iris shared how she applied this knowledge and the strategies she used to improve her credit score - here`s what Iris had to say:
📈 “My score dropped as low as 563, but now it’s up to 696—and that’s before considering what’s coming this month. I’ve paid off my car in full, so that debt is gone, and since setting up my student loan payments, my credit has been improving every month. I’ve also been keeping my credit card balance at zero. Everything has come together just in time because my house is so close to being move-in ready! I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” 👏
Congratulations, Iris! We celebrate your success and share in your joy. ✨🏠🎉
