Negotiating Your Worth: Disability & Financial Wellness

Register for this event on Eventbrite

Give Beauty Wings, a nonprofit that focuses on the empowerment and leadership of people with disabilities, is thrilled to present a groundbreaking event, where disability advocacy and financial literacy converge. Join us for a powerful and diverse lineup of speakers from both the disability community as well as financial advisors. This forum aims to empower and educate the New York disability community about navigating the complex financial landscape unique to city life and the disability community.
 
Join us for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights, as we equip attendees with the tools to understand and optimize their financial wellness. From demystifying intricate financial systems to providing actionable strategies, our event seeks to foster a stronger sense of economic empowerment among disabled individuals. By addressing prevalent economic challenges faced by the community, we aspire not only to aid financial literacy but also to raise crucial awareness about the financial hurdles our community encounters that are often overlooked by “mainstream” culture.
