Join The Matriots for the first event in our 4-part Speaker Series!
Money is precious and with so many competing interests and priorities, we must be strategic about where our money goes. Her Money Talks will focus financial literacy and our panelists will focus on strategies for saving money, earmarking to support issues, identifying and vetting interests/candidates, and how to hold individuals they’ve supported accountable when it comes to how the money is spent.
Tickets are $10 each and include continental breakfast, coffee, and tea.

Upcoming Sessions:
Each event in our Speaker Series will include a panel of experts who will highlight specific barriers to participation that women face when exercising the power of their participation in the Ohio Political System. While male counterparts also experience challenges, the barriers the speaker series covers are often more challenging for women due to the intersection of gender and other factors such as race, familial role, education, and lived experience. Each event in the series is a structured conversation between panel members representing expertise in the subject matter and lived perspectives from elected officials and community advocates.
2025 Session Themes Sessions Include:
- Finance
- Race
- Identity
- Embracing (Y)our Power
