The entrepreneurs had an exciting opportunity to support Elizabeth with managing her cost of living. They were challenged to answer key financial questions: what’s the difference between fixed expenses and variable expenses? Can Elizabeth afford to move to a new city? Which spending categories should Elizabeth cut back on in her budget and why? #wealth #education #embercs #freedom #build #educate #creators #read #imagination

When people think about budgeting, they often only focus on money. But what are other things you can budget in your life that aren’t related to money? #wealth #education #embercs #entrepreneurs #freedom #build #educate #creators #projectama
Teaching financial literacy at a young age is essential because it lays the foundation for lifelong healthy money habits, confidence, and sound decision-making. Our goal is to help young entrepreneurs develop a positive relationship with money, understand how markets work, and see themselves as active participants and future investors in the game of wealth creation. #wealth #education #entrepreneurs #freedom #build #educate #creators
Literacy is more than just reading and writing, it is the key to unlocking minds, challenging systems, and transforming futures. When we teach our young people to read critically and write powerfully, we equip them to tell their own stories, question the narratives around them, and lead movements. This is how we build free thinkers. This is how we build freedom. #liberationtheoughliteracy #readtoresist#powerinwords #criticalthinkingmatters #criticalthinking #wealth #embercs #entrepreneurs #education #build #freedom #educate #imagination #read #creators #communitybuilders #excellence #investment #investing #investor @embercharter @thekaarts
A text is anything that communicates meaning. Art expresses what words alone often cannot. Through creation, we share our stories, solves problems, and see the world differently.

We are currently reading The Skin I’m In by Sharon G. Flake, a powerful story that invites us to explore identity, self-worth, and the courage it takes to be yourself. How are people’s true selves different from what others perceive of them? How does a deeper understanding of peoples’ true selves—our own and others’—help us act with courage and integrity? #wealth #ilovemyself#identity#selflove❤️#education#educate#autodidacte#entrepreneurs #builders#creators#freedom #imaginative#liberate#embercs#affirmations#bedstuybrooklyn #bedstuystrong #bedstuy#books

Book Character Day#embercs
Human Justice March 2024.
Each morning, we turn on the diffusers with essential oils to create a relaxing and calm learning environment. Using peppermint oil has noticeably improved focus and concentration in the classroom. Some of the classroom favorites include lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus and tea tree. #embercs#education#design#build #wealth
