 "Many of our young people are spending and borrowing without knowing that interest builds up, or that credit cards aren't free money." It's my mission to change that!
Hi! I’m Patrina Dixon, author of the It’$ My Money™ Journal and co-author of Entrepreneurship: My Story, Your Guide. In the last few months I’ve had the opportunity to share the It’$ My Money™ Journal with teens and adults across the country, introducing them to concepts like budgeting, saving, investments and more. As the It’$ My Money brand continues to grow I am constantly meeting new people online and in person and wanted to take this opportunity to re-introduce myself. Through my books, interviews, workshops and one on one sessions I empower people young and old to take care of their finances. I am a Certified Financial Education Instructor and award-winning author. I am also a member of the Black Speakers Network and a 100 Women of Color Honoree for 2018. In addition, I’ve appeared in various print publications, and tv and radio broadcasts. I love to share valuable information families can use right away to pursue financial freedom. As an advocate of financial literacy I have a passion for serving my community and use my company, P. Dixon Consulting, LLC to offer money management strategies to people of all ages. In addition, I’ve led a workshop at the YWCA's Annual Money Conference for Women, Hartford’s Financially Fit community event and enjoyed each of my appearances on FOX61 to share financial tips with their viewers. My goal is to guide my clients toward financial independence by shaping their spending and saving behaviors. Each interaction I have online or in person allows me to achieve that goal! I hope this allowed you to learn a little more about me. I invite you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to continue following my journey and be among the first to hear about my two new projects. If you’re interested in working with me email patrina@itsmymoneyjournal.info. You can get a copy of either of my published books at It'$ My Money and Entreprenuerhip: My Story your Guide.

Reading is fundamental. We’ve all heard that phrase at one point or another in our lives, but why? Why is reading so important anyway? With the power of the internet and improved technology, Americans are reading less. Between audiobooks and video most people don’t take the time to read at all, but studies show that reading is still important for these reasons: Reading Boosts Your Vocabulary: Those who read have a more varied range of words to choose from when communicating with others. This is especially important for verbalizing feelings or thoughts. Reading often exposes people to words outside of their everyday vocabulary and lead them to use new words more commonly. The more you read, the more words you have to use on a daily basis. Reading Exposes You to New Ideas: Through reading, you expose yourself to new things, new information, new ways to solve a problem, and new ways to achieve. In discovering these new ideas people often begin to explore how this new information applies to their current circumstances. This exploration begins from reading and understanding and often leads to useful solutions to everyday problems. Reading Improves Memory and Concentration: Reading requires uninterrupted focus and concentration. It forces people to pause and tune out the world around them to immerse themselves in the environment created by the author. This increased focus also improves memory by keeping the mind more agile. The imagination required to follow the descriptions and story line in a book also keeps the mind sharp. Adding reading to your 2018 goals could help improve your vocabulary, help you embrace new ideas and improve your memory and concentration. I recently discovered an amazing resource for finding new books to read. It is called MahoghanyBooks. MahoganyBooks is dedicated to meeting the literary needs of readers in search of books written for, by, or about people of the African Diaspora. Your favorite titles can be found on the site, including new releases like Rise & Grind by Daymond John to old classics like Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Visit their website for full list of titles and start reading today! |
