Fearless Brown Girls®

Resilient isn’t just a word. It’s our legacy.

It’s the Elder who started a youth program with nothing but faith and folding chairs.

It’s the Gen X organizer still fighting for equity in boardrooms and classrooms.

It’s the Millennial leader balancing vision and hustle to keep community dreams alive.

It’s the Gen Z founder running a mutual aid fund from their phone and kitchen table.

And it’s every Fearless Brown Girl who refuses to let her story end with struggle instead of strength.

At Fearless Brown Girls®, we believe financial freedom is the foundation for possibility. We empower Black and Brown girls ages 14–24 to achieve financial confidence and independence by providing fun and engaging educational programs, resources, and mentorship in financial literacy and personal development.

Why This Work Matters

The racial wealth gap is not just a national statistic; it is a lived reality for the Black and Brown families we serve.

• The average White household has nearly nine times the wealth of the average Black household
• Only 10% of Black families receive any inheritance, compared to 30% of White families
• Black and Latinx youth are more likely to rely on credit and loans, and less likely to have assets or savings

Most of our girls graduate high school without ever being taught how money works — how to save, invest, or protect what they earn. Generations of systemic inequities have left our communities with fewer assets, more debt, and limited opportunities.

We exist to break that cycle. Early. Intentionally. Boldly.

Our big goal is to help 50 girls build their first $25,000 in net worth by age 25. That’s over $1.25 million in assets created — one Fearless Brown Girl, one financial milestone at a time.

What’s Next: The Fearless Collective

The next chapter is here! The Fearless Collective (TFC) is a multi-year, immersive experience where girls level up with financial mastery, leadership coaching, mentorship, and real-wealth opportunities. TFC moves beyond teaching financial concepts. It’s about turning knowledge into assets, ownership, and generational wealth.
