Blog#6_ Finance session During Women History Month

I have joined an orientation and finance session that Tk hosted earlier in March. The meeting was about women’s history months and how people should finance as a company and as an individual. Especially as a woman, you should keep a mind about money. You need to save money, spend money wisely and invest in things. Everyone who attended the meeting was from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, they are all directors, managers, interns, and MPM’s partner. The session was great. I learned more finance skills and have an idea that I have to save money “ the earlier the better” and we shouldn’t use up every single paycheck that we get. The money that you save today will help you one day. 

On the other hand, I have learned a bit of American history from the meeting. I have heard about the story of Sojourner Truth, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Amelia Earhart. They are all famous females throughout history. Amelia Earhart is an American Aviator who has championed a lot of women in aviation and she has many records. So she is considered one of the women figures. On the other side, Eleanor Roosevelt and Sojourner Truth are more like political figures. Sojourner Truth is a former slave and she’s outspoken for abolition. Eleanor Roosevelt was the first lady who wrote magazine columns and hosted weekly shows. She is an inspiring and powerful person. In the end, I would say that I enjoyed the session with Tk and the attendees were very nice and knowledgeable from their presentation and speech that they did. 

Here is the agenda for the meeting:
