  • My journey starts today

    I google some questions on where to start as a black man kind of at rock bottom financially at 47 years of age. In economic uncertainty I am very skeptical to whether I can come out of debt. So google referred Mrs. Souffrant. I went back 6 years to find something relatable. I enjoyed her talk about starting the journey to financial freedom. She mentioned it starts with habits and a mindset. Hopefully this is the beginning stages for a new mindset and habits. Thank you sister.

  • Holistic Financial Coaching

    I like that Jamila is holistic about her approach to finances. She covers more than just dollars and cents, but she does that too. Hearing about the emotional aspects of personal finance from a personal and structural and generational perspective, listening to everything from micro-level finance hacks to viewing finance through money choices through the lens of doing what we value the most so we don’t have death bed regrets…it’s been really REAL. I also appreciate the opportunity to learn from w... more

  • My Go-To FIRE Educator

    In a society with plenty of tech bros saturating the conversations around the FIRE movement, Jamila is a breath of fresh air. I love that she brings on guests from varied backgrounds and perspectives. The discussions around psychology as it pertains to money have to be my favorite. Love hearing about other women take charge of their money and life. Your conversation with Imani got me to FINALLY open up and fund my Roth IRA! Thank you!! 🥰 oh, and I requested my library order your book 😉

Episode 502: How to Talk About Money Without Shame, in the Classroom and at Home w/ Diana Isern
Q: What are the options available to teachers on how they can invest and save their money so that at the end, regardless if they have a pension, they also have money to be financially free?
Isern explains that teachers may have access to optional 403(b) plans, called a TDA in New York, and 457 plans in addition to their pension. She encourages teachers to start with what they can contribute and increase contributions gradually.
Episode 500: Funding Your First Rental Property, Homeschooling, and Redefining Financial Freedom w/ Erika Brown
Q: What advice would you give someone who wants to buy their first property about funding it and how much they need to save?
Brown describes the step-up strategy of moving and renting out a former home, using a 401(k) loan or HELOC for a down payment, and using funds in a self-directed IRA. She advises checking that rental income can cover both the property costs and the borrowing costs.
Episode 500: Funding Your First Rental Property, Homeschooling, and Redefining Financial Freedom w/ Erika Brown
Q: For the person starting today, where are the opportunities, and is it too late to get into real estate investing or owning a home?
Brown says buyers can find opportunities by looking beyond headline interest rates, negotiating below asking price, considering different property types, using seller or builder incentives, or buying in a more affordable market while renting where they live.
Episode 501: From Living in Her Car to Building a Venture Fund: Arian Simone on Wealth, Freedom & Fearlessness
Q: How do we encourage that next, whether it's the future around and current women, black women, business owners, women of color, business owners to think in that way so that they can go out and request and be more in the market?
Simone recommends grants for entrepreneurs who do not want aggressive growth, while also suggesting unconventional community fundraising, such as pooling contributions from friends and family. She encourages founders not to let funding disparities stop them from pursuing their ideas.
