A month away! ¡Yo Quiero Dinero!

"I'm a motivational speaker."

"I'm a student."

"I'm a small business owner."

"I'm a trainer."

"I love numbers."

"I'm trying new things."

These are the voices of this year's Yo Quiero Dinero. This year's celebration is very special.

This year we have 11 women! Three will appear on a compilation video shown during our intermission.

Have you ever tried spinning plates on sticks? How many spinning plates can you sustain without one falling down?

I know this might seem like a metaphor out of place, but it illustrates my life as a director of a new organization. I am the head of marketing, lead fundraiser, lead trainer, lead HR, and major decision maker. My world can get really small quickly.

This year is very special because we have a number one!

I very much appreciate Marta's help in steering the program and providing me direction and collaboration for this year's Voices and Dreams Academy.

We have a new employee for our organization. Let me introduce you to Marta Carrion! Who will also be our Yo Quiero Dinero MC for the night!

Marta brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise from organization to implementation. She is an expert in building community relationships, and we love her at our groups! Marta brings balance to our programming, which centers on the needs of the women in a mindful manner.

I'm also grateful for our board, which has gently guided and supported me in increasing our staff and board body.

We have been recruiting for our board body, applying for grants and sponsorships, and considering ways to increase our donor relationships.

WOW! How many plates can I keep going without letting one drop?

That is where you come in, friends. I need your help!

These incredibly hard-working, dedicated women are taking the leap and overcoming their fears of public speaking, declaring they want to grow their business or dreams. They are coming on stage on November 8, and we need you to fill the theater!

Reserve your seat!
