In her own words...

Hi! I'm Michelle. I’m a mom who wanted to give my daughter something I never received as a child: a healthy, confident relationship with money.

​

Before I ever created a book, a video, or a curriculum, I was a new mom sitting at my kitchen table thinking, “How do I teach my baby something that I’m still learning myself? And how do I teach it now?”

​

Then one day, while listening to a talk about investing, someone casually mentioned teaching kids financial literacy using the alphabet. That single idea lit a fire under me. I couldn’t shake it. I knew there had to be a better way to teach kids about money. A way that was joyful, playful, culturally relevant, and actually useful.

So I created it.

 

From that spark came the first ABCs of Finance Coloring Book. Then came more books, music, animated videos, flash cards, a curriculum, and now partnerships with schools, families, libraries, banks, and media platforms that want to empower the next generation.

 

Financial Letteracy isn’t just a brand. It’s a movement.

Because every child deserves to grow up understanding money instead of fearing it.

Every family deserves access to tools that build confidence, not confusion.​​

And every parent deserves support along the way.

​​

My work exists to make financial education joyful, accessible, and rooted in real-life skills that help children grow into confident, capable decision-makers.

​

This began as a passion project for my daughter.
Now it’s becoming a global effort for families everywhere.

And we’re just getting started.
