Why This Blog Exists

Because when I was starting, I couldn't find a single resource that spoke to me as a Black woman trying to build wealth through real estate. Everything was either too generic, too masculine, or too disconnected from my reality.

Finding assistance as a single mother

Building wealth without inherited money
Overcoming the psychological barriers

This blog is the resource I needed but couldn't find. It's the girlfriend who's been there, the mentor who gets it, the truth-teller who won't let you settle.
