NCBW Addresses Closing the Poverty Gap for Underserved Black Women

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Prince William County Chapter, Inc., Virginia is proud to launch its Signature Economic Empowerment Program, Sister-nomic$, in partnership with Wells Fargo.

With the support of Wells Fargo, NCBW’s Sister-Nomic$ Program will seek to build the financial knowledge and skills of underserved Black women and girls; and help Black-owned small businesses impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to accelerate their recovery in communities.

The Sister-Nomic$ program framework is based on self-preservation in all financial decisions.  NCBW’s economic development program, Sister-Nomic$, focuses on financial literacy, family wealth building and entrepreneurship.  NCBW’s partnership with Wells Fargo will be implemented at the local chapter level with broad geographical diversity to: (1) promote increased financial literacy, (2) encourage retirement planning and wealth-building strategies, regardless of the life cycle stage each woman currently finds herself, and (3) professional development opportunities.

“The support of Wells Fargo represents an investment in our shared values – elevating under-served Black women and girls to greater heights, from poverty to prosperity, because we know that knowledge is power and the lack of financial literacy leads to the lack of both, sustained financial well-being and generational wealth.” says National President Virginia W. Harris.

This Saturday NCBW-PWC will be hosting a virtual Financial Literacy Workshop. Registration is available until Wednesday December 16. Details are in the announcement below.
