press release: Welcome to another Midwest Mujeres exclusive financial and wellness event to close the wage gap for all women! This event is a financial and wellness seminar for Latina/Black/Indigenous/Asian/LGBTQ/Immigrant and white ally women who want to close the wage gap. With great pride, Midwest Mujeres Collective, a regional Latina network, will be hosting its second financial wellness event. Break generational money trauma with Afra Smith, CEO & Founder of The Melanin Project, and Adina Appelbaum, Immigration Attorney & Co-Founder of Immigrant Finance. The theme of our event On Friday, June 3 at 9 AM, get inspired by Fitness Instructor & Founder of Madison Studio 11's, Robbi Dominguez! Afra Smith will speak on budgeting and the common mistakes when acting rich but wanting wealth. Adina will educate us on investing in the stock market as a newbie. Join these great speakers, and network with other local businesses and high-impact women!

We carefully chose the location of the MyArts building because we want to provide a child-friendly experience for our attendees with children. We will provide an engaging piñata workshop for children while the parents enjoy the seminar.

Midwest Mujeres welcomes first-generation immigrants, Spanish speakers, parents, entrepreneurs, healers, community grandmothers, Movement Makers, hustlers, and Dreamers to learn how to grow and maintain your wealth. “We want our event to be a place of connection for Latina/Black/Indigenous/Asian/LGBTQ/Immigrant and white women to explore their dreams with career coaches and content developers who represent their background and lifestyle and share their ambition to close the wage gap for all women,” says founder Esparza.

Our members gain confidence to use the power of the internet to help them communicate their professional experience and obtain higher-paying jobs or new audiences for their business.

Women with small children are welcome to bring them, and we will have childcare for 5-10-year-olds. A light breakfast and lunch will be available for participants. Interpretation for Spanish speakers will be available. Scholarships  are available for participants; please email midwestmujeres@gmail.com for more information.

About Midwest Mujeres: we are a social enterprise that has served more than a thousand women through our online network. We are a mentorship collective for multicultural women's entrepreneurial or career growth. Midwest Mujeres’ vision is to empower women of color to build their own digital platforms to create more streams of income. Our mission is to help close the wage gap for all women through intentional online learning and networking in a culturally welcoming space.

We provide mentoring and teach five-week seminars on content development to women who are returning to the workforce, or who are exploring entrepreneurship. For additional information and to apply to our Be Bold fellowship program please visit: www.midwestmujers.com. We have several volunteer opportunities available.

Although we try to represent all voices at each one of our events, we have a long way to go to break down hundreds of years of supremacy. As Latinas, we are active in the Immigration movement; otherwise, we deny ourselves an alliance that is not just necessary but mandatory in the fight for our collective freedom for immigration reform and community justice. Join us for this engaging and informative conversation with Latinas and women from the Midwest who want to close the wage gap!

Aunque tratamos de representar todas las voces en cada uno de nuestros eventos, tenemos un largo camino por recorrer para romper con cientos de años de supremacía. Como latinas, participamos activamente en el movimiento de inmigración; de lo contrario, nos negamos una alianza que no solo es necesaria, sino obligatoria en la lucha por nuestra libertad colectiva para la reforma migratoria y la justicia comunitaria.

¡Únete a nosotros para ésta interesante e informativa conversación con latinas y afrodescendentes emprendedoras del medio oeste que quieren cerrar la brecha

salarial!
