Helping Divorced Women Start Over: Applying What I Learned | Oraynab Jwayyed | TEDxUCO

It’s difficult for working mothers to manage a household and a career, which forces many to exit the workforce to focus on their families. This leaves them at a great disadvantage when they divorce. Their troubles are only magnified when child support and alimony issues arise. Oraynab Jwayyed discusses the obstacles that hold divorced mothers back and how they, and their community, can overcome them.

Oraynab Jwayyed lives in the Oklahoma City area, where she works as a money management consultant for women. She launched Business Interludes, LLC to teach women to manage their money.

She has published two books. Her latest, ‘Starting Over: A practical guide for women after a money crisis,’ includes an 8-step guide that walks women through saving, investing, and managing debt. The book targets women who find themselves thrust in divorce and must learn to start over financially and manage their own money. Her first book, ‘Financial Literacy for Women: Helping women help themselves,’ discusses the issues women have with managing money and learning basic financial principles.

Oraynab has been writing extensively for several media and online outlets on topics that affect women in finance and the workforce. She holds an MBA and BS in Accounting from the University of Central Oklahoma. To learn more about her work, visit her website at www.businessinterludes.com.
