By 2030, women are expected to control $34 trillion of U.S. financial assets, a three-fold increase in just a decade. But research shows women want more than a financial return on their investments; they want to use their money to spend, save, invest, and give in alignment with their values. Led by Aspen FSP Senior Fellow Heather McCulloch, this Women in the Economy dialogue features an in-depth discussion with three authors and impact investors who are helping women and people of color become “financial activists” in order to use the power of their money to support the change they want to see in the world.
Janine Firpo is the author of Activate Your Money: Invest to Grow Your Wealth and Build a Better World and the co-founder of Invest for Better, a nonprofit helping women build their investment knowledge and grow their wealth.
Jasmine Rashid, director of impact at Candide Group, is a financial activist, impact investor, and author of the new book, The Financial Activist Playbook: 8 Strategies for Everyday People to Reclaim Wealth and Collective Well-Being.
Nathalie Molina Niño is the president and a co-founder at Known. She is an investor, author, educator, and retired global tech entrepreneur as well as the author of Leapfrog: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs.
The Women in the Economy Dialogue Series, hosted by the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, features in-depth discussions with journalists, authors, filmmakers, and other thought leaders about how to redesign the economy so women are able to strive, thrive, and fully contribute to their families’ financial security and the nation’s economic growth.
*By “women,” we mean all individuals who identify as female.
