I often say I had 5 mothers, growing up. My mom suffered a serious illness, causing her to call a hospital home for many years, and I saw my aunts go through devastating life-changing events, such as divorce and the death of a beloved husband. Through it all, these women taught me to always rely on myself when it came to finances, and they reminded me that education is power. I come to work every day hoping to empower others to seek the knowledge it takes to have control over their own financial future.
