Last night on NGPF's Speaker Series virtual PD, we had an incredible conversation with Shelley Miles, CEO of the Singleton Foundation and Noa Rodriguez-Hoffman, their Director of Editorial and Community Engagement. These incredibly inspiring and accomplished women discussed their career paths and personal passions for creativity within the financial sector. Noa is a Certified Financial Planner and hosts the series Making Lemonade. 

Making Lemonade is a series of conversations with young entrepreneurs who have overcome obstacles, embraced change, and turned lemons into lemonade. The series is published on the Million More Stories blog and features stories from entrepreneurs of all industries, backgrounds and interests!
