Are you an LGBTQ+ or solo prospective parent, or queer family seeking financial confidence, clarity, and community? This inclusive, affirming workshop is designed for you.
Centered on the values of equity and queer resilience, this session offers practical, personalized tools to support your financial well-being as plan to grow your queer or solo parent family.
Too often, traditional financial planning resources overlook the unique realities and systemic challenges that LGBTQ+ families face. This workshop flips the script—recognizing that your identity is a strength, and that creative, community-based solutions are powerful tools for long-term financial freedom and creating the family that you deserve.
The goal of this workshop is to empower LGBTQ+ parents-to-be and families with inclusive financial literacy tools and planning strategies. Through guided discussions and hands-on activities, you'll learn to navigate personal finance in ways that affirm your values and meet your family’s evolving needs.
Participants Will:
Build Financial Confidence: Gain a clearer understanding of key concepts like budgeting, saving, and how much different paths to growing your queer family actually cost.
Create Personalized Planning: Develop a flexible, values-based financial roadmap aligned with your family structure, goals, and lived experiences.
Access Creative & Community-Based Solutions: Learn about wealth-building alternatives, shared economies, and both local and digital resources to support your journey.
Your Presenter:
This workshop is led by Naima McQueen (she/her), Training & Education Director at Runway, and a deeply respected convener, strategist, and facilitator who works at the intersection of Black liberation, economic self-determination, and financial activism. The daughter of entrepreneurs and a proud Bed-Stuy native, Naima brings decades of experience in youth work, microfinance, business education, and small business support. Her workshops are grounded in joy, radical possibility, and deep community connection.
This isn’t your average financial session—it’s a vibrant, affirming space to build tools, vision big, and move toward financial freedom on your own terms.
