After losing my youngest daughter, I lost myself completely. The grief sent me spiraling into addiction. I lost my professional credentials as a title agent—licenses I'd worked so hard to earn across three states. I lost my way, my hope, and nearly my will to keep going.
The systems designed to help women in crisis? They looked right through me.
But you know what? That breakdown became my breakthrough. Because when you've lost everything, you realize you have nothing left to lose. And that's when you become dangerous. That's when you become unstoppable.
As I clawed my way back from that darkness, I discovered something that would change not just my life, but the lives of thousands of women after me: Real estate wasn't just about having somewhere to live. It was about power.
I went from losing a home to owning multiple properties. From destroyed credit to teaching credit restoration. From financial shame to financial strategy. Not because I'm special—but because I learned the game that had been hidden from women like us for generations.
And once I learned it? I couldn't keep it to myself.
Own It Gyrl was born from a promise I made to myself in that empty foreclosed house: No woman should ever feel that powerless again.
Every time I meet a woman who thinks homeownership is impossible for her, I see myself at 21. Every time someone tells me their credit is too damaged, their income too small, their dreams too big—I remember being told the same lies.
This isn't just business for me. This is ministry. This is justice.
After guiding hundreds of women from renting to owning, from surviving to thriving, here's what I know for certain:
I don't care if you've had bankruptcies, foreclosures, or credit disasters. I've seen women rise from worse and build empires.
Perfect credit? 20% down? Six figures? These are myths designed to keep you out. There are paths to ownership they don't advertise.
That vision of owning multiple properties, creating passive income, taking care of your family without stress—it's not unrealistic. It's just untapped.
I will guide 10,000 women to property ownership by 2030.
Not because it's a nice round number, but because 10,000 women owning property means 10,000 families building wealth. It means children growing up in stable homes watching their mothers win. It means communities transformed by women who own their piece of them.
But really? This mission is about you. The woman reading this who's been told no too many times.
I don't know what brought you here. Maybe you're tired of renting. Maybe you're ready to invest. Maybe you just need someone to tell you it's possible.
Whatever it is, know this: Your story doesn't end with where you are right now. It's just getting to the good part.
The part where you decide you deserve more. The part where you stop asking permission. The part where you Own It.
I'm Samantha Porter, and I'm here for your rise.
I'm not interested in being your guru. I'm interested in being your guide, your proof that it's possible, your reminder that you deserve everything you're dreaming about.
"I'm not interested in creating more real estate investors. I'm here to create an army of financially empowered women who understand that property ownership isn't just about having a place to live—it's about having a place to build from."
