The Narrative Justice Project’s Financial Literacy Initiative invites guest-post proposals for Defining Money. We welcome submissions that combine storytelling with practical approaches to financial education.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the Narrative Justice Project because I like taking legal and complex financial concepts and making them more accessible and digestible for people. The law and finance should not be intimidating or fear-inducing; they should be tools people can understand and use to their advantage."

-Kellen Sweeney, FLI Research & Editorial Fellow, Widener University Delaware Law School
