Our Story

Two hands, one dark-skinned and one light-skinned, clasped together in a symbol of unity and solidarity.

HerMoney Matters was founded by four women who shared one powerful vision: to create a future where women everywhere have equal access to financial opportunities. What began as a dream has become a global movement dedicated to financial empowerment, equity, and independence.

  •  We empower women globally to achieve financial freedom through education, access, and advocacy.

  •  A world where women are financially free, leading change, and building generational wealth.
