While participating as at mentor at RiseUp/Amplify at Momey20/20 I had the pleasure of meeting legendary DJ Spinderella and legend in the making, her daughter Kristy Ray. Both were very gracious, and spent time talking to the cohort and sharing their process for success and experiences. #money2020usa

Last day of Money20/20 conference in Las Vegas. We couldn’t help but grab a quick few snapshots of the fun shoes we spotted around the show. This time our vote is for the fancy trainers with the gold stars on them, glamorous and comfy is a perfect combo. We focused on shoes because first of all it’s shoes, and second because we want you to step into your prosperous and financially savvy future with Ujamaa.Financial. #money2020usa

So Ujamaa.Financial is attending Money20/20 and our CEO has the privilege of mentoring two wonderful women in finance who were selected to participate in the highly competitive Money20/20 RiseUp program which amplifies women in finance. This is a full circle moment as last year we were selected as part of the Amplify program which is built to amplify the presence and voices of underrepresented founders and people working in finance. We are opening doors for each other and celebrating each other. The energy is most excellent! One of the first moments of the first day was meeting Tracey Davies (Byers) and seeing a friend from our previous cohort Sharon Rivera knock her presentation out of the park! #money2020usa
