NGLCC Pride Month Program | Resilience Without Roadmaps: Understanding LGBTQ+ Financial Heritage and Designing What Comes Next

Join the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce (GPECC), and GPECC member Cody for Resilience Without Roadmaps: Understanding LGBTQ+ Financial Heritage and Designing What Comes Next, a thought-provoking session exploring how history, identity, and lived experience shape our relationship with money.

This discussion will examine the unique financial realities of LGBTQ+ and allied communities, including a legacy of resilience, advocacy, and chosen-family support systems, alongside the absence of a shared financial inheritance. Attendees will explore how early money messages and cultural expectations influence present-day financial behaviors, from avoidance and uncertainty to overachievement and hyper-independence.

Through a blend of historical context and practical insight, this session will help participants recognize inherited financial patterns and begin reshaping their relationship with money with greater clarity and intention. Whether you're a business owner, professional, or ally, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of how to build a financial future that reflects authenticity, stability, and long-term empowerment.

We're especially proud to see GPECC member Cody sharing their expertise as part of this important Pride Month conversation.
