Our History
In her collegiate years, Erika Moore Taylor found herself in a tremendous amount of debt and was frustrated with her lack of knowledge about personal finances. To empower herself, Erika educated herself through books, informational interviews with financial aid professionals, financial podcasts , and learned applied skills to manage her finances. Equipped with new knowledge and a new sense of financial information, Erika launched Moore Wealth Inc. in 2019.
Moore Wealth partners with universities, community youth groups, and student organizations to host in-person and virtual financial education workshops. To further empower students, Moore Wealth offers 2 scholarship programs - Compass Scholarship and Engineering Access for Graduate Education (EngAGE).
We believe all students must be educated in their personal finance. To ensure access and increase education, we partner with organizations to deliver financial literacy workshops. Our partners include: The Future of STEM Scholars Initiative, Oakland Public School system, as well as many universities and departments!
