Dear Friends,

As we approach the holiday season and draw nearer to the official launch of my debut children's book, Braving Our Savings, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the tremendous support I've received from each of you. Your enthusiasm for the announcement of my book launch in April 2024 has been truly heartwarming and I can’t thank you all enough.

I am excited to share that our movement has garnered support from an exceptional group of endorsers who recognize the transformative impact Braving Our Savings can have on shaping financial literacy and investment understanding for young minds. I am thrilled to announce our first esteemed endorser is none other than World Series Champion, Alex Rodriguez. Alex is widely recognized as a baseball great and corporate titan, but did you know that he has also made meaningful contributions to advancing equity and nurturing financial acumen? He truly embodies the spirit of our movement – 30 Seconds of Bravery – and we are grateful for his endorsement!

Here is what Alex has to say about Braving Our Savings:

As we press forward, our primary goal remains to distribute Braving Our Savings to the communities that need it the most. Given the disparities in the distribution of financial power, particularly among women and people of color, our mission is to address and rectify these imbalances. To contribute to this mission, you can make an impact by:

3. I’m partnering with non-profits to distribute Braving Our Savings to the communities and children who need it most. Know a charitable organization that we should consider? Email me at sarah@30secondsofbravery.org if you have ideas you can share!

Don’t forget, your participation goes beyond benefiting an individual child; it can have a ripple effect on entire communities by fostering informed, economically resilient future generations. Remember, every instance of bravery can initiate a lifetime of smart saving and wise investing.

The world of investing is filled with excitement and possibilities. It's time we make this concept more inclusive, accessible, and engaging for everyone.

Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in this cause. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and joy.

Warm regards,

Investing is exciting and interesting, and anyone can do it! However, less than 2 percent of capital is managed by women and people of color. It’s never too early to inspire young people of all backgrounds to invest. This book is an introduction to some of the fundamental concepts of investing. Join me in teaching kids about this subject—and beginning to set right the imbalances of power in the investment industry and beyond.
