I attended the Women’s March in Washington DC over the weekend. It was exhilarating and gave half a million participants an inspiring feeling of “yes we can!” I am still on a high from the sense of power in numbers and community I felt on that day.

I only wish that the women’s march could have articulated a parallel message: if you don’t control your money, you don’t control your destiny either.
