Empower Your Cents is a nonprofit dedicated to closing the financial wealth gap in minority communities by providing financial education and coaching. We will strengthen, encourage, and empower individuals from childhood to adulthood to break generational curses and build generational wealth.
To create financial education programs that are interactive, impactful, and inspiring that can be customized to fit individuals, schools, for-profits and non-profit organizations.
We meet our students where they are, we don’t assume you know everything, and we celebrate you when you can bring your knowledge to the table. When engaging with a leader to offer this Financial Education to their participants we have a series of steps to determine the best program for your participants. With over 80 topics to choose from the program becomes completely customizable for your group:
We determine what you would like to accomplish
We get buy in from your participants on what they would like to learn more about
We determine the topics, length of program and one to one coaching options
Last we set an implementation date, EYC will bring in educators/coaches to teach or we can train staff if needed
We start off with a minimum of 3 sessions for longer programs. For more targeted classes we recommend adding at least 1 one to one coaching sessions to ensure the participant has adequate support.

From an early age, I saw people struggling with financial issues, and I immediately took the stance that I didn’t want that to be me. What I didn’t realize is how hard or impossible that stance might seem to some people. I have been blessed with a talent that helps people connect with their money in a way that doesn’t scare them, and they can take back the control. Nothing is impossible unless you stop trying, we are here to turn that “I wish” into “I know”.
