Today, I had the incredible Julie Castro Abrams on the show. She’s a powerhouse in the world of women’s wealth and empowerment who has used her career to help build up other women to give them opportunities that previous generations before her have never had.
Julie opened up getting her first internship at the University of Chicago which ultimately sparked her passion for working with other women in social justice initiatives. From there, she’s worked in countless roles, most notably as CEO of the Women’s Initiative for Self-Employment.
To highlight her current mission, Julie shares about the gender disparity that still exists in asset management and leadership roles, especially for women of color. She believes that the more women we help find their voice and power, the more we can rebalance the power scales for future generations.
Julie’s story is a testament to the decades she’s dedicated to helping women find opportunities to change their lives. Her vision for the future is clear — she wants every woman to understand the power of her financial decisions and use that power to create systemic change. It’s an inspiring legacy she’s building for future generations of women in finance and beyond.
