Championing the cause to break the generational cylce of financial illiteracy!

Hello! I am blessed to be an International Spokesperson for the Savings Fund a Non-Profit created by the National Financial Educators Council which provides financial education, resources and tools to over 22 countries. With their support I am bringing my Big Yellow Umbrella Campaign across the Globe to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America!

As a Financial Literacy Volunteer Teacher for the Boys and Girls Club of America it is my honor to donate and teach my Money Smart Kid Tool Box to the children in the Clubs knowing that when you Invest in a Child. You Inspire a Future!

I had a great time holding a Chaume' Purse Get Together and Party! I am donating a part of the sales to The American Heart Association Go Red for Women! As a Chaume' stylist I am thrilled to be able to not only sell Chaume' Purses which I love but to also share with other women about heart disease and to provide them with literature from the American Heart Association. I was able to share about my mother's story of heart disease and the importance of knowing the warning signs.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the party and for all of the support!

Why making our kids money smart is critical!

56% of Americans have NO Savings and 38 Million People have NO retirement savings and the next generation their children are not being raised to save. We have to break this cycle and MAKE financial education a top priority for our children. Just as we believe Education is the right of every child so do I believe Financial Education should be. NO matter if a child lives in poverty or wealth financial education should not be with held! What good is an education that leads to a job if we do not have good money skills and end up harming ourselves financially. Parents be a Champion for your child by teaching them good money skills. If you need help contact me my Big Yellow Umbrella is big enough for everyone!
