The Summer of Lady business
IT’S THE SUMMER OF LADY BIZ
Women lead Crypto, NFT’s, and Media Are Hot Right Now
Welcome to the June newsletter for The Justice Dept, a space where we share business opportunities and news about how our clients and friends are building a system that works for us.
It’s the beginning of Summer and we have exciting events coming up, fresh press in the news for both The Justice Dept. and our clients, and as always, a month's worth of amazing new podcast episodes with incredible woman leaders from across industries.

Unapologetic: How Jennifer Justice and the Justice Department Empowers Today's Women and Inspires them to Get Rich
An exciting release in Business Insider this month covers everything The Justice Dept. and recent financial stats about the wage and wealth gaps that should encourage anyone to take action to help women get paid.
"In fact, recent reports have shown that the median annual pay for a woman holding a full-time, year-round job is $50,982 while the median annual pay for a man who holds a full-time, year-round job is $61,417. What does this translate to--it just shows that women who are employed full time lose a combined total of nearly $930 billion every year due to this wage gap.
The lost wages result in the sad plight where women and their families would now be without the necessary funds needed to be self-sufficient, save money, or spend it on goods and services.

See You At Trusted LA
A 1-day Summit dedicated to NFTs, the Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency for leading Entertainment Advisors.
Cryptocurrency and NFTs have been a hot topic – and one that advisors with high net worth clients are looking for concrete guidance on. Many clients are heavily invested in the space, and are interested in creating and collecting NFTs. This has created a series of unique challenges from a tax, legal, and risk perspective. The slow roll-out of State and Federal legislation adds to the complexity.
The Trusted Advisor audience is a tight-knit & exclusive group of advisors with A-list celebrity clients, influencers, pro-athletes, musicians, creators and producers. They handle their clients’ complete picture: from their banking and bill pay, to insurance, cyber-security, business ventures, large purchases and investing.
