This program is comprised of three parts:

Participants will leave with:

  • A deeper understanding of how gender and race influence your relationship with money and privilege.
  • Language to discuss important concepts and values with your children, families, and communities.
  • Tools and resources for transforming your relationship to your finances, including saving, spending, banking, and investing.
  • A concrete action plan to align your money with personal values.
  • A community of women that offers support, accountability, and a shared vision for a more just society.

"Any initial anxiety that I had about doing a deep dive with a group of wealthy white women into reflecting on my privileged status was immediately and definitively dispelled by the facilitators. They quickly established a welcoming, supportive, and unexpectedly playful atmosphere that encouraged us to recognize and build our solidarity with each other as women. I think we all felt empowered—emotionally, socially, and practically—to see ourselves as protagonists in a collective endeavor towards establishing racial justice and closing the racial wealth gap. Highly recommended!"

"It left me connected to courageous women, inspired by new insights and called to personal action while held in collective accountability. Oh and of course joy, dancing, breaking bread and grieving together was all in the special mix too. Julia and the Impact Collective are making change happen.”
