Hi y’all! I’m Cami from Miami. I’m not from Miami proper, but Cami from South Florida doesn’t sound as good 🤷🏾♀️. I am a 22 year-old recent college graduate from Rice University who majored in Managerial Studies and Political Science. I come from a low income background and had the goal of graduating from college debt-free.
My savings journey took me way beyond my initial goal. I saved at least $10,000 per year in my three and a half years of university. And I was even able to buy an investment property right out of college.
This didn’t happen without lots of trial and error. I self-taught myself how to acquire, grow, and invest money while working a 45 hour work-week and taking a full “Ivy-league level” course-load. And now I want to help other people like me, with limited to no access to finance education, surpass their own financial goals and achieve the BIG goal: financial freedom. If I can do it with no car, in a new city, in the midst of a pandemic, anyone can do it. For these reasons and many more, I have created my first personal finance guide: The $10K Challenge. A relatable personal finance guide made by a Black woman for Black girls, Black women (especially of the trans experience), Black femmes, Black non-binary and all of our avid supporters who are navigating college and new adulthood.
I want to make saving your first $10,000 or your next $10,000 as fun and impactful as possible. I also do the work right alongside you so you never feel alone at any point in your saving journey. My team and I have also established spaces on social media (@the10kcrew) to provide that community support we all so need.
I created the $10K Challenge to support Black girls, Black women (especially of the trans experience), Black femmes, Black non-binary and all of our avid supporters save their first $10,000. I have love for all BIPOC women. In this series, I’m starting with and centering around the people who’ve raised me.
Anyone who takes on the $10K Challenge will automatically be part of the $10K Crew and will have access to the love and support of other growth mindset oriented women supporting them on this financial journey to not only succeed, but surpass the $10K Challenge and continue the wealth building journey. $10K Crew is family and our family is forever.
