Nationwide — Shownna Bryant, the Founder and CEO of Instructional Graphics, is pleased to announce the launch of two innovative financial literacy courses featuring cutting-edge graphic animation. The “Financial Bootcamp” delves into banking, credit scores, retirement planning, college savings, insurance, and more. On the other hand, “Teach Me Like a Tot” is an investment course that educates users on various financial markets, trade analysis, risk management, trading styles, and more! With a commitment to promoting financial literacy, the creator, a visionary Black woman, aims to empower underserved communities with the knowledge needed for sound financial decision-making.
Bryant’s journey has highlighted the critical importance of financial literacy, particularly within the Black community. She empathizes with the challenges people face in understanding the complexities of finance. Motivated by these insights, she embarked on creating educational content in an accessible format. Opting for animation, she believes this approach makes learning more engaging, aiding faster comprehension and better information retention.
The courses aim to educate youths and adults on financial fundamentals and investing in various financial markets, such as stocks, FOREX, options, commodities, and digital assets. The content will be continually updated and expanded to include information on emerging products.
To further support the mission of financial education, Instructional Graphics is excited to announce the expansion of its YouTube channel. Although still in its infancy stage, the channel features free, accessible content covering various financial topics, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to making financial literacy resources available to everyone.
