​Can y'all relate? The pandemic came in without a care in the world about our 2020 plans. I knew that nothing is certain when the economy is hit. @hokagekb and I immediately started talking about how prepared or unprepared we are if one of us lost our jobs. ⁠

​This pandemic said girl I do not care about... ⁠

Getting your journey started can seem like an impossible task. Guess what? The journey is only hard because you are trying to start it alone. Often times people come to me because they are struggling with these questions:

✔️ You’re struggling to break the check to check cycle.
✔️ You have no idea where you're spending your money.
✔️You’re unable to handle a medical emergency or any emergency.

​Budgeting can be hard! Planning out your money each money can be hard! However, it is not impossible! Create a plan and set aside time on your schedule to accomplish your goals. ⁠
⁠
Don't forget the importance of budgeting!⁠

​My experience as a Black woman in corporate America has been the best learning experience! These experiences have put me against adversity and put me around so many intelligent people. ⁠

Never did I think I would be changing jobs in the middle of a pandemic. But there was far stronger powers than my little self at work. 

There are tons of great Black women who provide information in Instagram and Linkedin about interviewing and job hunting. I would definitely check out one of these awesome women to gain more information.

I knew when I embarked on my journey for a graduate degree that turned into graduate degrees that I would have to pay money back to good ole Sallie Mae.

I was fortunate enough to get $2,500 a year from my job and a few scholarships from the school but this didn't cover the entirety of my education! 

2020 has been full of change:⁠
⁠
✔️ Graduate⁠
✔️ Get Married⁠
✔️ Quit My Job⁠
✔️ Start a New Job⁠
✔️ Start paying back student loans⁠
