Racquel Berry-Benjamin is an accomplished education professional, international speaker, astute businesswoman in real estate investing and financial services, and founder of Pathway to Prosperity and Champions for Financial Literacy, Inc., organizations created to navigate families, schools, and communities toward a brighter economic future.

But really, Racquel is a luminary. A change agent on a powerful mission to turn impoverished pasts into wealth-sustaining legacies for generations to come. Driven by a relentless commitment to shift the mindsets of families around wealth, Racquel’s personal and professional journey is a narrative of resilience and a testament to the transformative power of education.

While serving as Commissioner of Education in the United States Virgin Islands, Racquel’s vision of transformation, which earned the Virgin Islands Department of Education national recognition, included a five-year strategic plan and A Portrait of a Virgin Islands’ Graduate framework that stipulated the integration of financial and economic education into the local public education system.

Racquel’s childhood in poverty, two decades of trailblazing in the field of education, and her studies in personal finance inform her authority and advocacy on financial education for individuals and families. The two-time bestselling author is committed to redefining the narrative for underserved communities by using her “Pathways to Prosperity Generational Wealth Framework” to start and change conversations about money.
