Week Two of Voices and Dreams Academy: Budgeting for Our Dreams

Week Two of Voices and Dreams Academy: Budgeting for Our Dreams

This week in the Voices and Dreams Academy, we’re taking intentional steps toward financial empowerment—and quite literally walking in that direction together.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP!

We’re honored to be joined by Stephany Peñate, our Guest Speaker from Old National Bank, who will lead us through a powerful session on Financial Wellness & Budgeting. Stephany brings not only financial expertise but also a deep understanding of the unique financial journeys of women—especially Latinas, Black women, and women over 50. Her interactive approach makes money management feel less intimidating and more empowering, with real tools and tips to help participants move from surviving to thriving.

Stephany’s workshop is made possible through the generous support of Old National Bank, a committed community partner investing in our mission to close the gender wealth gap through education and connection.

Our evening begins at Leflore Accounting (306 E Wilson St #2e, Madison, WI 53703) at 5:30 PM, where we’ll gather as a group. Araceli will then guide participants on a mindfulness walk through the heart of downtown Madison—a quiet reflection and reset—on our way to the Old National Bank Training Center on the Capitol Square. As we walk, we reflect on the intention of the night: to step boldly into our financial stories with clarity, confidence, and community.

This is more than budgeting. This is reclaiming our relationship with money, dreaming bigger, and building a future rooted in wellness—for ourselves and our families.

Thank you to Old National Bank and to Stephany for walking with us—literally and figuratively—on this journey! LINK TO SIGN UP: https://www.midwestmujeres.com/event-details-registration/voices-and-dreams-academy-kickoff-2025-07-16-17-30
