The money podcast for young women

Make Bank with Mia Banks is a podcast BY a young woman FOR young women. You’ll love Mia and you’ll learn to love finance from a young woman just like you!

When you hear the words “finance” or “investing,” what’s the first thing you think about?

For some, these  terms suggest a possible career path or simply umbrella terms that cover making a lot of money . For many, investing is byzantine and complex, an activity better  left to “professionals”. Sadly, many young women are discouraged from getting started with investing because they think they have neither the resources nor the understanding to make profitable financial decisions. The financial industry tends to be a male-dominated one as well.

Prior to today, society created a space where women are less encouraged to participate in finance. You may have heard  the term “mansplaining.” Mansplaining is an effort taken by men to talk down to women and insert their dominance by explaining a topic that they  presume is  “too complicated” for women to understand.. Although we live in a progressive world where women are told they can do anything they set their minds to, there is still a  masculine mystique around finance and investing that makes it hard for girls to feel like they have a voice and place in this industry. My podcast will change this!
