I'm Raquel Curtis, a passionate speaker, workshop facilitator, and finance coach, dedicated to helping women take control of their finances and build lasting wealth. After losing my job as a banker due to the pandemic, I realized the importance of financial literacy and built my brand to empower women—especially those in underserved communities.

Through my work, I’ve helped over 1,000 women across several countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, American Samoa, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. My clients have saved more, paid off debt, improved their credit scores, invested wisely, and even purchased their first homes.

With over 100 speaking engagements and workshops under my belt, I’ve led audiences ranging from intimate groups of 10-50 students to larger online sessions with up to 200 participants—and I've spoken at events with over 1,000 attendees. My expertise spans across multiple areas, including financial literacy, wealth-building, and mindset transformation.

In addition to my signature programs like Stocks 101, which has taught over 1,000 students globally, and Financial Breakthrough Academy, I’ve collaborated with brands such as NFCC, Purex, Microsoft Bing, Linqto, and Casstle. My mission is to impact the lives of 1 million women through my classes, workshops, and retreats, helping them navigate the four pillars of wealth building.

Whether through my coaching, speaking, or partnerships, I’m here to guide you on your financial journey—living boujee and balanced, with the tools and confidence to thrive.

In fact, here are a few ways I might be able to help:

  1. Financial Coaching: I offer one-on-one or group coaching sessions where I help women create custom budgets, build savings plans, and develop investment strategies that lead to financial independence.

  2. Workshops & Speaking Engagements: Whether for universities, corporate events, or community groups, I provide engaging and actionable workshops that teach financial literacy, wealth-building strategies, and mindset transformation.

  3. Courses & Programs: My signature programs like Stocks 101 and Financial Breakthrough Academy have empowered women to master investing and build their wealth portfolios. You can join one of these courses and learn how to grow your money.

  4. Resources & Tools: Through my free and premium resources, including budget guides, financial goal-setting workbooks, and investment templates, I provide the tools you need to take control of your finances.

  5. Accountability & Support: Whether through my coaching or community programs, I hold you accountable to your financial goals and provide ongoing support so you can stay on track toward your financial freedom.
