Onward Together: Empowering Women to Shape the Future

Aside from some House seats still needing to be determined, the 2024 election cycle is now behind us. I’ll acknowledge for many, myself included, it may have not been the desired outcome. We are used to having to fight and claw for what’s ours and rather than dwell on it, I am inclined to embrace the unknown and forge ahead. It is now more important than ever to move forward together, collectively pushing for fairer footing and celebrating our many successes.



While it may have been special to witness our first female commander-in-chief, 49% of women now consider themselves the Chief Financial Officer of their household and are responsible for 70-80% of consumer purchasing decisions. In an economy that runs on consumer spending, do not underestimate the power there. 


SOPHIA’s main objective is to celebrate the brilliant, highly motivated women who make this country so great. I look to partner with them on their journey through the occasional setbacks and remarkable achievements, providing the tools and resources every woman needs to take control of their financial future and create greater financial agency. Rather than be dejected, I am energized by what is to come. 


There is a lot of work to do; the future is counting on us. 


With love and admiration for all the incredible women out there, 


SOPHIA
