An interactive evening with three expert speakers: Debbie Grant Clarke-Grant, Community Dietitian; Semirath Fagbemi, MSc. Experte en finances personnelles; Tanisha Matthews, Credit Card Specialist and Founder of Purpose and Finance Enjoy Afrobeats with DJ Sekinat.

Speakers Bernie Petitt and Amreen Rahman both speak on counterspace in STEM and the importance of it for minority students to have a place that privileges through fostering a feeling of community and support, respecting the experiences of all people, and battling prejudice. Since racism, misogyny, and repressive academic environments can make it difficult for students to build their STEM identities we need responses that make STEM more accessible.

This panel event covered subjects like credit building and credit scores, credit cards and debt management, and student loans. It is for those who are just beginning their independent financial futures, covering topics like: obtaining financial guidance and building a relationship with your bank; saving money and making investments; and how to turn a side gig into a profitable one.
