The Program

Financial wisdom passed down at the kitchen table.

The Big Mama Universe is a flexible set of financial literacy modules rooted in storytelling, cultural relevance, and real-life decision-making. Each module features a character from Big Mama's family, so students learn through scenarios that feel like home.
