You’ve got to get in order to give! Let’s think with a mindset of abundance and wealth so that we can then pay it forward and give back to our communities. This session imparts personal finance and wealth building knowledge which is essential for women of color to thrive.
The session then provides philanthropic advice related to establishing your priorities and the different philanthropic vehicles you might consider both now and as your wealth continues to build.
With her extraordinary expertise in finance and philanthropy, Crystal Thompkins, Director of Strategic Impact at Daylight and Principal and Founder of TrueCrystal Consulting will present this session. Crystal brings decades of experience in the financial sector to what promises to be a wonderful Learning Lab session to start the New Year!
