Tennessee Financial Literacy Month

Keynote SpeakerManisha Thakor
As an ardent financial literacy advocate for women, I adore teaching, writing, speaking and consulting about the essentials of financial health and emotional wealth. Having worked for over 30 years in the financial services industry, I’ve come to see firsthand how important it is to empower women to achieve financial wellbeing. Why women? The short answer is that money gives women voices and choices.
