Ujamaa Financial’s Post

Ujamaa.Financial is excited to share that we are a recipient of a grant from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Coalition to Back Black Businesses program! We are thankful for the support, and will use it to further our initiative to help black, brown, and first-generation college students and graduates pay down student debt, build credit and emergency savings while building financial literacy. Our ultimate goal is to be a catalyst to clearing obstacles to closing the wealth gap.

We wholeheartedly agree!

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

Day two of the Shoes of Money20/20 fabulousness was focused on shoes in the RiseUp/Amplify conference room plus one or two stand outs in the hall…..which is your favorite? #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
