Teaching financial literacy from a working-class perspective 💰
Helping people understand money, make it work, and break the cycle of poverty 🚀
You can chase your dream even if the “dream job” isn’t in reach.
Maybe you want to be a marine biologist but live in North Dakota—no ocean in sight. 🌾🌊

The trick? Ask yourself: What’s adjacent to my dream?
That’s how you keep moving forward without getting discouraged. 💙✨

What I’ve loved most over the last year and a half is meeting with policymakers to talk about education. What I’ve learned is that both sides truly care—we just approach solutions differently, and that’s okay. That balance is what makes America, America. 🇺🇸

Big news: starting Summer 2026, Empowering Education will hire students who completed our course the previous term as paid mentors for new students. Peer mentors know the struggle and the wins — and that empathy changes everything. 💪📚 #PeerMentoring

Our December Student of the Month wrote her final paper on how SNAP helped her family stabilize and eventually no longer need it. You’ll meet her Dec 5, but her story is a reminder:
They are poor, not lazy.
Forgotten, not nonexistent.
They are our future — and we’ll fight for them.

This fall, every DMV high school senior who completes an Empowering Education class will get a Charles Schwab account and $500 invested in a mutual fund on their 18th birthday. Teaching financial literacy is great—giving tools to use it is better. 💸🎓 #FinancialLiteracy

Our words as educators matter. Students internalize the labels we give them. Let’s give feedback that builds, not breaks — words that lift them to their highest potential. 🌱 #Education #Teaching #GrowthMindset

The story of Amazon reminds me that unwavering vision attracts unwavering support.

Bezos faced countless ups and downs, but his focus never faltered — and neither did his supporters.

Stay focused. Stay patient. The right people will stay with you until success arrives. 💡

Monsignor Oscar Romero was a significant influence on the way we approach education. Our goal is to create a learning environment that encourages and facilitates upward mobility for the poorest among us.
