Join us for a reading and Q&A to celebrate the release of Ruby member Berna Anat's exciting new book, Money Out Loud (HarperCollins, April 2023).
Money Out Loud has been hailed by Michelle MiJung Kim, award-winning author of The Wake Up: Closing the Gap Between Good Intentions and Real Change, as "an empowering guide to financial literacy that goes beyond budgeting to exploring the unspoken stories about money: shame, trauma, inequities, and more," further exclaiming that Berna's work, "offers a pathway to rewrite our money stories and ultimately heal our relationship to money."
Proof of vaccination is required. Masks are strongly encouraged.
Doors: 6:30 pm
Event Start: 7:00 pm
Books will be available for purchase at the event and online via bookseller partner, Dog Eared Books.
About the book:
In this illustrated, deeply unserious guide to money, Berna Anat—aka the Financial Hype Woman—freaks out her immigrant parents by doing the unthinkable: Talking about money. Loudly.
Because we’re done staying silent, anxious, and ashamed about our money. It's time to join the party and finally learn about all the financial stuff that always felt too confusing. Stuff like:
How to actually budget, save, and invest (but also make it fun)
How our traumas shape our most toxic money habits, and how to create new patterns
How to build wealth in a system designed to keep us broke
How to use money to fund our biggest dreams—and change the world
No more keeping our money on mute. It’s time to grab the mic.
