Back in the day, my finances were in disarray and so were my financial feelings.

I was deep in debt and deep in denial about my unhealthy relationship with money.

But once I decided that I deserved a happy financial ending (and so do other Black women), I create a financial freedom plan to:

Find a budget system that allowed me to save with soul and intention
Destroy debt without robbing myself of daily doses of joy and pleasure
Boost my credit score and be the boss of my credit rating and interest rates
Use my income to increase my net worth
Save for retirement consistently
Grow my net worth to almost 7-figures
Build my first business that I love that generates six-figures every year on the side
Reinvent myself over and over again unapologetically as a regular, degular wealthy

Black woman

…. And so many other magic money and life dreams.

So, I’m launching a

Level Up Your Finances 5-Day Challenge

To help you do the same.

During this 5-day challenge, you will receive an email to your inbox with a daily lifework aka task and an invitation to our private Level Up Facebook Group where I go live at 9pm EST Monday, September 6th to Friday, September 10th to teach.

You will learn:

Day 1: Rewrite Your Money Story

Understand the origins of your beliefs and feelings about money and decide if that’s your true financial voice.

Day 2: Get Your Financial House in Order

Learn what you need to keep and eliminate so you are not overwhelmed by documents, receipts, and other paper clutter.

Day 3: Know Your Bag

Calculate your personal net worth, identify your streams of income, and decide what your next wealth goal will be.

Day 4: Get Your Credit Right

Do a credit rating check, learn the easiest ways to boost your credit score in the next 30 days.

Day 5: Kill Debt

Create a customized debt elimination plan so you can save for your emergency fund, retirement, travel, sabbatical, and all of life’s high-cost major memories.

This challenge is NON-REFUNDABLE. Refunds will not be granted under any circumstances. I know that if you follow the steps and do the work, you will see results!

Is this challenge only for Black women?

Absolutely not. Anyone that identifies as a woman can join. Men can sign up as well. This is a culturally affirming space for Black women across the income spectrum and we will unapologetically speak at the intersection of race, gender, class, and emotions throughout the challenge as needed.

How long will the private, pop-up Facebook group stay open?
