Hi, my name is Kidus Yigzaw, and I am a student passionate about finance, entrepreneurship, and creating opportunities for others. Outside of school, I enjoy playing soccer, watching anime, and reading. I started Bright Dollars because I saw how many people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, never get the chance to learn important financial skills early in life. Through Bright Dollars, I hope to make financial literacy more accessible, empowering young people from all backgrounds to make smarter financial decisions and build stronger futures.

Bright Dollars helped me understand budgeting in a way that actually makes sense for my daily life.
