DIY Investing: The Hidden Curriculum — Building Wealth on Our Terms
Wealth is Resistance. For Black women, choosing to invest independently isn’t just about avoiding fees — it’s about reclaiming power over our money, our futures, and our legacies. This session uncovers the truths no one tells you about DIY investing: the emotional discipline it demands, the knowledge it requires, and the hidden challenges of managing your own portfolio. Together, we’ll explore how to build a system that’s simple, sustainable, and rooted in our values — so that investing becomes not just a financial strategy, but an act of self-determination and resistance.
