It’s Tax Season and Financial Literacy Month! How effectively are you managing your monthly expenses and making smart investment decisions? This week, we’re thrilled to welcome back Shelby Patrice, Financial Literacy Educator and Founder of Budget University. Ms. Patrice shares how students choose their favorite stocks and explore concepts like assets and liabilities through popular rap songs. As Gen Zers and young entrepreneurs, learn how to master what Ms. Patrice calls “the cheat code” to financial success - all while maintaining a steady job. Ms. Patrice completed her Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration at Kentucky State University. She founded Budget University in 2020 and the program was fully accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) within a year. She was featured on NBC Dallas News, won a $10,000 sponsorship from the Dallas Mavericks, and became a member of Engage Dallas. Ms. Patrice built her learning management system (LMS) and online App from the ground up and has accrued over 2,000 users. Budget University is now a featured program at Kentucky State University as a Freshman Experience course. As the former Miss Texas US 2016 and adoptee with a platform for Adoption and Foster care, she has taken the financial literacy pillar to the next level.
