Welcome to Money Monday$, a Black Ottawa Connect initiative, created with the intention of increasing confidence by breaking down financial concepts and empowering our community to achieve their dreams! This month's theme is "Surviving and Conquering this (Possible) Recession!"
Community members will be able to learn from a group of experts from our very own community in evening. This will be an opportunity to better understand the current economy and what a possible recession could mean. Attendees will walk away with information, strategies and tools to maintain their financial security while also building their financial wealth. A possible recession does not mean we have to fall behind. We can THRIVE!
