Queer people navigate financial realities that mainstream advice overlooks. From hidden security costs to income gaps caused by discrimination, our financial lives are shaped by experiences most tools and advice fail to recognize.

This fast-paced, empowering session is your guide to understanding how LGBTQ+ identity impacts personal finance — and how you can build confidence in your money decisions. You’ll discover why conventional money advice feels irrelevant (and frustrating), and what you can do instead to create a financial mindset that works for you.

We’ll explore the principles of queer financial design: flexibility, inclusion, and community power. You’ll leave with fresh perspectives and practical ideas to upgrade your financial confidence — no rigid budgets or boring lectures. Just real talk, community-centered thinking, and tools to help you take control.

Join to discover how to make your money work for *you*, and how queering finance unlocks new possibilities for your future.
