What is Legacy Math™?: Redefining Financial Literacy for Women Entrepreneurs
Let’s talk about legacy,
Sis—the kind that lasts long after you’re gone. If you’re like me, you’ve experienced moments where financial conversations felt intimidating or even out of reach.
But here’s the truth: building multi-generational legacy isn’t just a dream; it’s a formula.
I call it Legacy Math™:
Wealth – Taxes = Legacy.
It’s not just a concept—it’s a framework designed to help you master the intersection of wealth accumulation and strategic tax planning to create a lasting legacy.
It's where the rubber meets the road.
A Legacy Built on Lessons From the Start
My journey with financial literacy started early—like, 9 years old early.
Back in 1997, as a 4th grader in East Point, Georgia, I was teller at a school bank in partnership with SunTrust. I thought having $50 in my name was winning!
Fast forward to now, as a mom to 6-year-old twins, I see how important it is to go beyond basic financial literacy.
What I learned then shaped how I approach The Money Council® today: creating practical, transformative tools to help women entrepreneurs steward their wealth with intention.
