Join us for the first financial empowerment event in Canada dedicated to Arabic-speaking professional women. You & Money is a full afternoon built to move you from debt to savings, growth, and lasting stability, with practical steps you can take the same day.
Arabic-speaking professional women in Canada are educated, resourceful, and financially active, yet almost entirely underserved by mainstream financial institutions. This event is designed to change that, in your language, from people who understand where you come from.
