WONDERFULLY ME INC

Wonderfully Me is dedicated to educating, encouraging, and empowering our girls in each session. This month, Kim Bethea, a volunteer and the Program Director of the Iota Tau Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, led an interactive financial literacy session. Providing this knowledge is vital for their present and future success. Our Wonder Girls are equipped with financial literacy tools through discussions and activities, helping them make smart money decisions, avoid debt, and potentially become entrepreneurs. Financial independence enables them to support their dreams and goals without depending on others. Furthermore, as our girls grow into women who meet their financial objectives, they contribute to narrowing the gender wealth gap evident in the disparity of pay with men. The girls practiced writing checks, budgeting, cashing checks at the WME National Bank, and using their cash to simulate real-life experiences. They visited various stations to allocate their budget according to the 50% Needs, 30% Wants, and 20% Savings rule. The use of play money added a fun element to the learning experience. These Wonder Girls are on the right path to managing their finances now and in the future.

October is designated as Bullying Prevention Month. There's a widespread belief that bullying is confined to children, but it can occur at any age and in different environments. The article below discusses workplace bullying, providing guidance on recognizing if you're a victim, determining the right time to contact Human Resources, and methods for dealing with the bully. It's crucial to halt bullying; your well-being depends on it.

Thank you to the Fund for Women and Girls of why we must continue to demand and expect gender equality in all we do. #genderequality #addressmecorrectly #womeninpolitics
