An Introduction & Nice to Meet You (Formally)

[Deleted]

Hi, MM! I'm thrilled to join this community more formally.

Last month, I launched a blog and Twitter focused on the intersection of gender equality and personal finance, two things I'm VERY passionate about!


Here's where you can find me:
The blog is here: www.feministfinancier.com/
Twitter is here: twitter.com/MsFinancier
You can sign up for the newsletter here: eepurl.com/cNXFqn
(Mailings will likely happen monthly-ish...newsletters are a lot of work!)

It's also really important to me that this effort isn't commercial, or sponsored. I'm not looking to become a blogger that gets paid to write sponsored posts. I'm not looking to replace my income with affiliate links that I promote - the site is ad-free. Here's how I write about it on the blog:
An important disclosure: I will never write content that is sponsored, so any recommendations I provide are mine and mine alone. To support this effort, I may occasionally offer affiliate links and referrals. I will always clearly identify those to you.

There are currently 20 posts on the blog, and some of my favorites include the following:

Finally, I'm also guest posting on Fairygodboss.com - if you don't know that site, you should! It's a fabulous company with a mission to support women finding great careers in workplaces that support gender equality.

Here are my first two posts (adapted from blog posts); the first one is completely MM-inspired:

I welcome your feedback (here or via PM or via my FF contact information) - and thank this community for being a source of information and inspiration. I'll work to cross-post new content on here to keep y'all updated!

xoxo

Thank you so, so much for sharing it! Since I'm using a moniker, it's been a little tricky to promote and get the word out. I really REALLY appreciate the fact that you think its of high enough quality to share with others.  (heart)

What am I missing? Are you an old poster with a new name? If so...did you really like Mr. Money Moustache? I'm feeling behind here...lol.

[doobeedoo]

I just popped into the forum for the first time in about 2 years and this was one of the first posts I saw. I am pretty sure I *know* who you are, and wanted to say congratulations and all the best to you. I will now proceed to follow you on the Twitter.

Welcome back, doobeedoo -- it's good to "see" you again! I'll shoot you a PM shortly to confirm
