The Frugal Feminista

Helping women grow their money and enjoy their money.

About the Business

The Frugal Feminista is a financial wellness company dedicated to helping women of color build healthier relationships with money, eliminate debt, and create lasting financial security. Through culturally relevant education, coaching, workshops, and resources, we make personal finance easier to understand and apply in real life.

Our work exists because too many women have been taught to manage money through shame, restriction, or one-size-fits-all advice. We believe financial wellness should feel empowering, practical, and accessible. The Frugal Feminista helps women heal their relationship with money, make confident financial decisions, and build the freedom to live, lead, and thrive on their own terms.
