WHY: The main objective is to offer you information that so many of us may have been afraid to ask for or were unaware of. Taking gradual steps will set a platform for success rather than taking drastic measures that tend to backfire. Owning our choices gives us permission to change our perspective, and approach things differently. This attitude can create a new world of possibilities. Wealth is a mindset - ready to change yours?
Other sites may give you solutions but they don’t address the emotional factors (e.g., self esteem, guilt, fear) related to over consumption. We offer a place where women can openly communicate in a relaxed environment with one another. We recognize all of the roles women have in society and embrace one another for our similarities and our differences.
WHY Fashion?
Fashion is a universal theme for women. The good, bad, and ugly, fashion has a way of showing our true colors: moods, attitude, personality, and spirit. The objective of Financial Fashion House is to provide a trendy and exciting environment where women can obtain financial education and resources.
Financial Fashion House will show you that you don’t have to neglect your wardrobe or your bank account.
HOW did this idea originate? Inspired by the many challenges she faced as an entrepreneur over the last seven years, Financial Fashion House was founded by Cinnamon McCann to provide a voice and resources to women everywhere.
“I was intimidated by my own questions leaving me paralyzed at times.”
Two driving factors led Cinnamon McCann to create FFH. The first was her personal experiences
becoming an entrepreneur and financial hardships that go along with it. These obstacles led her to create a community for others experiencing similar journeys.
The second factor in FFH's creation was plain observation. This was the fuel to Cinnamon's fire. Observing women in her own family, community and in the media, Cinnamon came to an important realization. There is a continuum of women and their financial experiences. At one end there are women who are not heavy spenders, but may not invest, in the middle there are women who are moderate spenders and heavy investors, while on the other end there are women who are heavy spenders and do not invest at all.
Many women conduct their finances based on what they were and/or were not taught by their previous generation. Some women have been taught to depend on financial leadership from their spouses, leaving the decisions to someone else without question and understanding. There are other women who have adopted financial leadership from parents who may have not made financial literacy a priority.
The media portrays an envious Hollywood lifestyle that many strive to achieve. The reality is the actresses we see are a miniscule percentage of women that makeup the world. Far too often we compare ourselves, and are left feeling deflated spending money we don’t have, trying to live up to an utopian image. Think about the woman, who has recently purchased a $1000 purse but has been drowning in debt for years. FFH wants to show you that there is another way and how you can be a star in you own right. Become the leading lady in a more financially secure and happier life.
Whatever the underlying reason for financial instability, all of us can be guilty of giving into impulse, poor priority setting or bad decision making. At this point it can become difficult to see what taking care of ourselves actually means. Bottom line, when financial problems emerge chaotic, fearful, and unbalanced life-styles can become the inevitable result.
FFH takes into account the various elements that feed into this continuum to provide adequate information, resources and tools to support women within their different financial journeys.
