“The last year and a half has been defined by many challenges that have disproportionally impacted Black, Hispanic and Latina people and particularly, women,” said Kristin Lemkau, CEO of J.P. Morgan U.S. Wealth Management. “The road to equality starts with greater financial equality. We’re are excited to bring together these exceptional women to have raw conversations about finances and investing and how to build a legacy.”

“Women already face financial gaps in equal pay and household income, and these are more pronounced for Black and Latina women. Investing, participating in the economy, and having skills to maximize our financial potential are all ways to build wealth

and pass it on to others,” said Alice Rodriguez, one of the firm’s top Latina leaders and 25-year banking industry expert. Rodriguez has focused her career on driving financial health and leads the firm’s work on delivering on a $30 billion commitment to closing the wealth gap for the Black and Latino communities.

Attendees will hear inspiring stories about personal wealth journeys, and will have access to on-demand resources and specialists from J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. Breakout sessions will cover investing for beginners, multigenerational wealth, using investment goals to support communities, and financial wellness for entrepreneurs and business owners.
