We’re ending the month of June in celebration of the LGBTQIA voices in our personal finance community. Earlier this week we highlighted 15 creators you should be following which you can check out here, but for our purposes today we’re going to provide you with pieces some of these authors have written and conversations they’ve had with other prominent queer finance writers in the industry.
Black Lives Matter is still a prominent conversation in our world and this week we hosted a Facebook Live interview with Carmen Perez from Make Real Cents and Kevin Matthews III from BuildingBread. Check out the interview here and come back over the next few weeks for more interviews with financial experts of color.
