Michael Leshinsky, MBA liked thisMichael Leshinsky, MBA liked this✨ If you haven’t been to Wickford Village in a while - or ever - it might be time! Tucked along the water in North Kingstown, RI - Wickford is one of those places that feels like a step back in time - in the best way. A historic seaport village, walkable, welcoming, and full of thoughtfully curated small businesses, local restaurants, and stories around every corner. (There’s a reason it’s been recognized as one of the Best Historic Small Towns in the country.) And in the Spring… it really comes alive. One of the best examples of that is the Wickford Harbor Fire—now celebrating its 10th year. 🔥 Imagine: ✨ live music throughout the village ✨ food trucks and local favorites ✨ free activities for kids and families ✨ an easy, coastal date night—strolling the harbor, shopping, and soaking it all in It’s one of those rare events that truly has something for everyone - and it’s completely rooted in community. If you’re looking for something local, meaningful, and genuinely fun this summer… this is it. 📍 Wickford Village The FIRST Harbor Fire of the 2026 season is May 15th! 🔥 Huge credit to the local business owners and volunteers who make this all happen. It doesn’t happen by accident - and it shows! 🙏 💙 #WickfordVillage #RhodeIsland #SupportLocal #CommunityMatters #ExploreRI #TogetherWeAreStronger #hometowngirl Rhode Island Commerce North Kingstown Chamber of Commerce

Michael Leshinsky, MBA liked thisMichael Leshinsky, MBA liked thisWomen often face unique financial challenges: career interruptions, wage gaps, longer life expectancies. But challenges also create opportunities to build wealth differently and more deliberately. Financial independence isn't about doing everything alone. It's about having the knowledge, resources, and support to make informed decisions that honor your goals and your life's complexity. Whether you're navigating a career transition, managing multiple income streams, or reimagining your financial future, clarity comes from understanding your full picture and planning with intention. #GatherWealth #WomenAndWealth #FinancialIndependence #EmpoweredPlanning
