April is Financial Literacy Month. This doesn’t mean our responsibilities stop so we can manage our finances. Thinking about money can be stressful and time-consuming and can feel like a trip to the dentist. Talking about budgets, investing, and the big D — debt — can be bothersome.

Yet some extraordinary women are making these conversations easier and more accessible. If managing your finances has been at the bottom of your to-do list, here are four women to follow who can make this process easier and fun. These women take the financial knowledge guarded by white males and communicate it in a digestible way for everyday women, helping women everywhere pay their bills and have some money left over to treat themselves.

Berna Anat: Self-Proclaimed Financial Hype Woman

Bernadette “Berna” Anat is one of the most relatable people in finance. This first-generation Filipino millennial is your biggest fan when it comes to managing your money. She will cheer and twerk to every financial milestone you reach. Anat is a speaker, producer, and edutainer. When she took her first dive into the world of finance, she surfaced paying off $50,000 in debt in three years. While following every finance video on the internet, she noticed that the finance world was, in her words, “hella male and hella pale.” She is on a mission to financially empower women by helping them break the shame around their money.

Reasons to follow: There are no boring money videos with Anat. She will dress up, dance, and find the most creative ways to educate you on budgeting, investing, saving, and getting out of debt.
