    • For survivors who have been exploited/trafficked by a family member.

    • Are you struggling with dynamics within your family because of your trafficking experiences?

  • Registration REQUIRED! If you are not an active member of YAMT’s you have to apply to our program before taking the course.

    This 12-week course is designed for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC small business owners who identify as sex workers, trafficking survivors, or someone impacted by the commercial sex industry through the lens of unpacking the intersectional historical and systemic forces that contribute to cycles of economic struggle impacting how we show up in relation to money. Through addressing the roots of our behaviors and beliefs, we can transform how we show up in those important financial decision making moments.

    This course isn’t just about financial literacy—it’s about recognizing the power in our stories and using that knowledge to envision and create financial wellness for our lives.
