4-week virtual sessions held in partnership with Sheard-Kelly’s SistHER Mentoring Group to equip youth, young adults with financial wellness tools

NEWARK, NJ, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an effort to reach youth and young adults to jumpstart their journey to achieve and sustain financial freedom, dfree^®, the only faith-based, wealth-building system designed explicitly with the Black community in mind, is collaborating with Award-winning Gospel Artist, Entrepreneur and Activist Kierra Sheard-Kelly (daughter of Karen Clark-Sheard of the legendary Clark Sisters) for the dfree^® Young Money with Kierra movement.

The program, co-presented with Sheard-Kelly’s SistHER Mentorship Program, is designed to awaken and educate youth and young adults ages 13-25 on the importance of incorporating financial wellness as a daily lifestyle. The 4-week intensive kicked off Saturday, February 6, 2021, and will go until the end of the month. The $30 cost includes “Meditations for Financial Freedom” written by CEO/Founder of dfree^® DeForest B. Soaries, Jr. and downloadable worksheets.

The dfree^® Young Money with Kierra curriculum consists of four themed levels:
- Level One - “Out of my Feelings in my Bag: Mind Over Money”
- Level Two - “Securing the Bag: Take Control”
- Level Three - “Step Your Game Up”
- Level Four - “Getting to the Money: Get Ahead of the Game”

“This movement will meet youth and young adults where they are - through age and interest-appropriate messaging and mediums. We want to educate, motivate, and support young people to make the best decisions about their finances. If we can capture their attention at a young age, we can set them up for tremendous success in their future.” - DeForest B. Soaries, Jr, Founder & CEO

“I’m so excited to connect with and empower young people in a meaningful way, especially as it relates to finances! This generation needs our attention, tools, and more, and we’re going to reach them where they are.” - Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Award-Winning Gospel Artist
